So wait a second. You think it's somehow Amazing to hear somebody who can't find a parking space in front of his own home, and sometimes for blocks around, address a growing problem. I agree, AP is currently kicking ass, but along with success comes growing pains. My neighborhood fills up every weekend day, and most nights, yet the paid lots usually have tons of available spaces. MM employees take up most of the parking between Kingsley and Bergh. But here's what you don't know...the block between AP Ave and 1st ave, along Bergh is used by boardwalk visitors. And in the past 2 weeks, there has been one break-in after another. There's still lot's of glass from smashed car windows. That block has become an easy target for thieves, because it's very dark at night.If it were designated as residential parking only, this wouldn't be happening, and it never happens off season. I agree the city needs the money from paid parking, but people are finding quite a few ways around that issue, and for some, it results is a loss. That's worth talking about, isn't it? For the record, I don't just discuss this here. While my schedule doesn't permit council meetings, I call City Hall, and send emails. I think it's entirely valid to suggest differentiating between resident and visitor parking. If your neighborhood was affected, I tend to think you'd feel the same. Maybe I'm wrong.

[AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
To me, this is the bigger picture. Most cities with tourist attractions, that have paid parking bordering on residential areas employee Residential Parking Only areas. That's standard, and we should do the same thing. If I had to pay $15 a year for that privilege, great, I'd be happy to do so. But, since we don't, the city loses money because getting around paying to park means walk a little. Wouldn't it be in the cities best interest to maximize the usage of their paid parking then? And is it really fair to force boardwalk employees to park a few blocks away when they can have an employee parking area on site? I talked to a girl recently who left work at Stella late one night to find her window smashed on Bergh. That could easily be avoided. Next, are people aware that the city is planning on spending a rather huge sum of money to replace the poorly designed parking meters? They won't get a refund for what they've already purchased and have found to be troublesome. To that end, is it realistic to post police officers at the meters because people find them so hard to use? None of this issues should be dismissed as amazing, and should be discussed. It's about planning for the future. AP is moving forward in leaps and bounds, which is truly amazing, but the city needs to smartly grow along with it. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, cbrianwatk...@... wrote: It still astounds me people try to avoid parking for 50cents an hour, FIFTY CENTS and hour 6hrs at the beach is $3 for parking That same amount of time in any shore town will run $20-30 Last night my family went to Point and paid $40 for 4hrs of parking Hinge - everyone in my household have all written (both letters and emails) to City Hall about the parking situation by you, and urged a residential parking plan for the first 4 blocks moving west off Kingsley, to date we have not heard back at all, we have also reminded everyone on the council how the election process works in our last round of emails We'll see I guess Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: Hinge hing...@...

[AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
Yo Glenn, I am all too familiar with alternate side, etc. Remember our news comes from NYC, if you don't have Cablevision, of which, I'm glad to have News 12! FYI, I read Maureen's piece, too. She's about all we have left, save 1 or 2 people that still raise their voices! Like you, I had given up on this group, because it became too commercial for want of another adjective and I LIVE here! The West Side is all choked up with STREET construction, more than anything else, a HUGE pile of dirt on Memorial Drive where PEOPLE are still trying to live, if you call that, living. I see no people of color working over there, when there are many minority companies begging to get in on some of that so-called stimulus money. I don't see no 20% of nothing, over there, while shiny red trucks from out of state and County are jamming up the streets, with no notice to residents. You leave home and if you don't travel Asbury Ave., like I don't, you run head long into construction, none of which a Black or brown face, is present. Okay, fire away! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, dapawprint dapawpr...@... wrote: All, Possibly none of you noticed, but I recently left the group due to aggravation of the usual complaining with lack of action. I have joined again and feel like I am absolutely crazy replying to this thread. However, I shall reply. @Sharon: Alternate side of the street parking is a rule. Those of us with good parents should know how rules work. If I lived by you and I forgot and received a ticket.. well, that is My bad. @Oak: Excellent Point!! Even on the busiest nights, and I was there for Gaslight Anthem AND Frampton, the lot by the Carousel House was not fully used. iStar and Madison Marquette should cone-off the far side of the lot for Parking of THEIR employees... and they should do the same in their other lots. If not free, for a fraction of the cost of City Parking. @Hinge: I like the resident parking sticker idea, but it still will not guarantee a parking spot, just the lack of a ticket. It will not help your ability to come and go. Resident Parking Spaces in conjunction with Resident Parking Stickers works. Residents with stickers should be able to request towing at the vehicle owners expense. The lot behind The Empress, by the way, is one of the reasons that I got fed up with this group and left. And it has a LOT to do with one of Brian's comments to this tread. This thread ALSO has to do with my aggravation. Let me explain. Complaining amongst ourselves is not solving anything. Brian said Strength in Numbers. Ok, well, I see that and I do not dismiss that. I support that, actually. But who is acting? I understand that schedules prevent Council Meeting attendance. Ask yourself if attendance at a Council meeting is even necessary? Do you have a pen and a piece of paper? Do you have access to e-mail? Do you have access to a telephone? Do you go out in public and meet people face-to-face? My point is that complaining here is only relieving the momentary stress, it's not accomplishing anything. Example: A close friend complained to me via another media during the winter regarding the lot behind The Empress. I sent an e-mail to the Mayor voicing my friend's concern as well as my own. I received a reply within one business day explaining that the eyesores were being dealt with. I gave it some time and I followed up, again via e-mail. I received a reply that Deputy Mayor Lofferdo was assigned to address the issue with that particular lot. I gave it more time... and yep, I asked again. I was once again told that it was being addressed. I got fed up and I called code enforcement and stated that I was making a Formal Complaint. Shortly thereafter, our friend Maureen Nevin reported via http://www.asburyradio.com that the City had entered into an agreement with iStar to lease that lot (as well as others) back and make them in to parking. Maybe I had NOTHING to do with it. Maybe I did. You won't know what difference you might make if you do not try!! And, by he way, iStar had a guy in that lot behind Them Empress with a weed whacker on Monday... clearing all the weeds around all of the crap. Why would they pay for that if nothing is going to happen? [...@jack - sorry for the long dissertation in your section, it's just where 'it fit.'] Food for thought. Remember, I don't live in Asbury Park. I do care though and I hate to see people complaining and not acting. I'm trying!

Aside from the word Workplace, I would wonder if the Monmouth County Prosecutors office would be able to argue that this is nothing but the SAME things which William Gray afflicted upon your fellow resident Werner T.

Mr. Gray should get a MILLION DOLLARS in compensations for THE SAME THING THAT HE DID TO SOMEONE ELSE? Think about that. And here is my Wonder: I wonder if the reason that all I hear is complaints and nothing about action on this group is because the residents of Asbury Park (on this group) saw it happen to Werner (and quite possibly others) and they are afraid that the same thing may happen to themselves. I wonder. William Gray had stress, depression, anxiety, trauma? Is that not the SAME thing that HE inflicted upon every owner of a sidewalk crack, a sandwich board, a table too close to the edge of the walkway? Never mind what he did to Werner. He should get a nice hefty fine (IMHO), not an award for his pain and suffering. Hey! Maybe even JAIL TIME! The Residents of the City of Asbury Park, NJ need to step up and speak for themselves.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
i would gladly trade you guys the vommit, piss, and parking for the 3 dope slinging thugs who have made my street corner their new business office or come school time, (i'm a block from the HS), i'll trade you ALL the kids in the HS for your vommit/piss/parking situation, they apparently dont know what sidewalks are, and like to use anyone's trash cans as dodgeballs, and our yards as their garbage cans i guess my point is we all deal with something, we live in a resort town, there will NEVER be enough parking, never. Sure we can use these vacant lots for parking, but how long with that last? Based on the crowd growth over the last couple of years, probably not very long. Thats a reality, an unfortunate one, but reality none the less. Look at any other established beach town, and tell me who has enough parking. I lived in Belmar, Manasquan, Ortley, and Long Branch and dealt with parking issues in each one of them. When i lived in Belmar there were times i had to take a cab to my car, how absurd is that? I do agree with permit residential parking, especially for the first 4 or 5 blocks west of Kingsley. I've brought this up to a few city officials and they seemed to like the idea, however, considering i live on the Northwest side of town, and i may (or may not) be the only one who proposed this, it may not go far.

[AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
Failure or success? 1. While it mwould nice that everyone worked on the boardwalk lived in town and can walk to work safely 0 that's not the case. - Since MOST of the time there's plenty of the room in the lots, MM or the employer should issue employee parking permits. That way the kids don't park on the west side of Kingsley vs paying %5.00 or $10 to park in the lot or the meters - monies money. However a few times I gave my kids money to park it - I'm sure they kept it and still parked down the road. Cheaper then paying a ticket (which reminds me) because the car is in my name - and while it parked legally it was ticketed... 2. I was in nyc the other day (drove in) - I drove around for 10 minutes and got lucky - street parking midday 3. YOu can always try the no parking today and a cone trick. Ohe of the things people don't realize when they buy or rent a house - if there is room in the driveway. Most people then weren't so car dependent. Wives home, men work, kids were nice How come malls don't have parking meters? BUT - many of them do offer now valet parking and preferred parking. Yahoo!

If the city made a real effort to eliminate the construction yard behind the Empress and make that into a parking lot, that would solve part of the problem. Same goes for the Esperanza. Residential parking permits really need to be addressed. The vomit and piss problem is ridiculous. I took my dog for a walk after Frampton the other night, and there were 2 huge piles of vomit right out front of my home. And the back area of the apt next to where I live sees a parade of people using it as a bathroom. People are sitting in their cars on Munroe, drinking up a storm, and drive by pissing behind that apt during every summer stage event. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, brian watkins cbrianwatk...@... wrote: i would gladly trade you guys the vommit, piss, and parking for the 3 dope slinging thugs who have made my street corner their new business office or come school time, (i'm a block from the HS), i'll trade you ALL the kids in the HS for your vommit/piss/parking situation, they apparently dont know what sidewalks are, and like to use anyone's trash cans as dodgeballs, and our yards as their garbage cans i guess my point is we all deal with something, we live in a resort town, there will NEVER be enough parking, never. Sure we can use these vacant lots for parking, but how long with that last? Based on the crowd growth over the last couple of years, probably not very long. Thats a reality, an unfortunate one, but reality none the less. Look at any other established beach town, and tell me who has enough parking. I lived in Belmar, Manasquan, Ortley, and Long Branch and dealt with parking issues in each one of them. When i lived in Belmar there were times i had to take a cab to my car, how absurd is that? I do agree with permit residential parking, especially for the first 4 or 5 blocks west of Kingsley. I've brought this up to a few city officials and they seemed to like the idea, however, considering i live on the Northwest side of town, and i may (or may not) be the only one who proposed this, it may not go far. The more voices on it, the better probability of someone taking action. POWER IN NUMBERS! On 11 August 2010 07:25, maubddny filecabinet...@... wrote: I feel your pain.

[AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
Hinge, It's a good argument for decal parking for residents only. It will prevent residents from being ticketed, towed, etc. Signs can be erected in residential parking, designating the spaces for residents living on a particular block. Numbered spaces can be designated for addresses, etc. Well, it's a suggestion, anyway. So much for doing the right thing! On the block where I live, if you park on the wrong side of the street, on a particular day, you're guaranteed a ticket! Sewall Ave., Bond St., Monroe Ave., Emory Sts., have alternate side of the street parking.

[AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
All, Possibly none of you noticed, but I recently left the group due to aggravation of the usual complaining with lack of action. I have joined again and feel like I am absolutely crazy replying to this thread. However, I shall reply. @Sharon: Alternate side of the street parking is a rule. Those of us with good parents should know how rules work. If I lived by you and I forgot and received a ticket.. well, that is My bad. @Oak: Excellent Point!! Even on the busiest nights, and I was there for Gaslight Anthem AND Frampton, the lot by the Carousel House was not fully used. iStar and Madison Marquette should cone-off the far side of the lot for Parking of THEIR employees... and they should do the same in their other lots. If not free, for a fraction of the cost of City Parking. @Hinge: I like the resident parking sticker idea, but it still will not guarantee a parking spot, just the lack of a ticket. It will not help your ability to come and go. Resident Parking Spaces in conjunction with Resident Parking Stickers works. Residents with stickers should be able to request towing at the vehicle owners expense. The lot behind The Empress, by the way, is one of the reasons that I got fed up with this group and left. And it has a LOT to do with one of Brian's comments to this tread. This thread ALSO has to do with my aggravation. Let me explain. Complaining amongst ourselves is not solving anything. Brian said Strength in Numbers. Ok, well, I see that and I do not dismiss that. I support that, actually. But who is acting? I understand that schedules prevent Council Meeting attendance. Ask yourself if attendance at a Council meeting is even necessary? Do you have a pen and a piece of paper? Do you have access to e-mail? Do you have access to a telephone? Do you go out in public and meet people face-to-face? My point is that complaining here is only relieving the momentary stress, it's not accomplishing anything. Example: A close friend complained to me via another media during the winter regarding the lot behind The Empress. I sent an e-mail to the Mayor voicing my friend's concern as well as my own. I received a reply within one business day explaining that the eyesores were being dealt with. I gave it some time and I followed up, again via e-mail. I received a reply that Deputy Mayor Lofferdo was assigned to address the issue with that particular lot. I gave it more time... and yep, I asked again. I was once again told that it was being addressed. I got fed up and I called code enforcement and stated that I was making a Formal Complaint. Shortly thereafter, our friend Maureen Nevin reported via http://www.asburyradio.com that the City had entered into an agreement with iStar to lease that lot (as well as others) back and make them in to parking. Maybe I had NOTHING to do with it. Maybe I did. You won't know what difference you might make if you do not try!! And, by he way, iStar had a guy in that lot behind Them Empress with a weed whacker on Monday... clearing all the weeds around all of the crap. Why would they pay for that if nothing is going to happen? [...@jack - sorry for the long dissertation in your section, it's just where 'it fit.'] Food for thought. Remember, I don't live in Asbury Park. I do care though and I hate to see people complaining and not acting. I'm trying! I, like you, need to read asburyradio.com to see what Bill Grey thinks that he can get out of us (well, you!)

The RED LIGHT was getting bigger each second - and I thought to myself - WHY did I complain? Luckily, it really wasn't that long - but I thought - maybe it will never turn green - because of me.

[AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
All, I have taken some time to read Maureen Nevin's notes (http://www.asburyradio.com) and I would like to call attention to a few in particular as well as to express a wonder that I personally have: In William Gray's $1 million dollar suit against your City, he claims (quoted from asburyradio.com): Under Description of Injury, the claim cites emotional trauma, mental and psychiatric stress, anxiety and depression together with aggravation and exacerbation of pre-existing stress... and similar complaints arising from the workplace and suffered by Claimant, William Gray. Aside from the word Workplace, I would wonder if the Monmouth County Prosecutors office would be able to argue that this is nothing but the SAME things which William Gray afflicted upon your fellow resident Werner T. Baumgartner (and quite possibly others.) Think about that. Werner got JAIL (multiple times!), Werner got FINED... Mr. Gray should get a MILLION DOLLARS in compensations for THE SAME THING THAT HE DID TO SOMEONE ELSE? Think about that. And here is my Wonder: I wonder if the reason that all I hear is complaints and nothing about action on this group is because the residents of Asbury Park (on this group) saw it happen to Werner (and quite possibly others) and they are afraid that the same thing may happen to themselves. I wonder. William Gray had stress, depression, anxiety, trauma? Is that not the SAME thing that HE inflicted upon every owner of a sidewalk crack, a sandwich board, a table too close to the edge of the walkway? Never mind what he did to Werner. He should get a nice hefty fine (IMHO), not an award for his pain and suffering. Hey! Maybe even JAIL TIME! The Residents of the City of Asbury Park, NJ need to step up and speak for themselves. I believed that corruption had left the City, this recent development makes me wonder. Comments?

[AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
The job of a code enforcement officer is to enforce code violations. If he didn't address those concerns - like cracked sidewalks etc - someone might wind up suing the homeowner, city and - maybe even the code enforcement officer - or they would just complain on this board that no one is doing their job I think I'd take that on once or twice a week. Hopefully, you can't sue for job related stress. Next you now it, everyone will be stressed out at work and calling up their lawyer. If your boss asks you to do something - can that cause strees? So the insurance will continue to rise - for everyone. There's probably a few million people out of work by no choice of their own who WISH they were stressed out AT WORK - vs in a home they overpaid for.

[AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
No, I want a sign, and a sticker, that designates parking in my neighborhood as residential. When I lived in Edgewater, NJ, that's exactly what we had, and it was free. Surely the City makes enough money off of fines paid for parking to afford this. It's absurd that I have to park blocks away from my home during Stone Pony Summer Stage events, while there's plenty of empty spaces in the paid lots and spaces. Even worse, I have to dodge vomit the morning after. And what is nobody talking about? The car break-in's on Munroe Ave during these events. Want proof? Head over to Munroe, between AP Ave and 1st, and check out the broken glass. If I'm lucky, that's where I get to park. And I don't want to, because there is zero lighting, and the GPS thieves know this. Duh...There's also zero lighting in Library Square Park. It's all burnt out, and people have no idea about the amount of crap taking place there every single night. Boardwalk prosperity is great, but for much of the city, nothing has changed.
