[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown Gas Regulators
I don't know what happened in AP, except, Sewall Ave. in front of the Munroe Towers has been dug up and new pipes are being laid there and in the 700 block also. This week on Emory St. by the side of Thurgood Marshall School, a huge hole is dug up there, also. Any cars parked where replacement pipes are being towed away. 2 Weeks ago, every car parked opposite the Munroe Towers was towed even though no residents were informed of construction. Cost to recover vehicle; $150.00. I park underground, so I wasn't affected but residents are hot under the collar because they didn't know where their cars were. Don't know if this has anything to do with the court proceedings. I'm just saying. On the beach ordinance, we're into the 21st century and since the revolution of the 60's, who cares what anyone is wearing? I say take the regulation off the books! Asbury wants to be visitor friendly. Channel 5 and Channel 12 were on, "live" this morning, asking visitors what they thought. My thought is, throw the regulation out! If you're swimming, sun-tanning or whatever, people have to go onto the boardwalk, if not, but for a bottle of water! Nothing personal, but what era is SHE living in? I haven't been posting, as I saw nothing relevant to post about! Just my 2 cents! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "wernerapnj" wrote: > > ???

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
many towns have REQUIREMENTS that a business must leave x number of lights on for security. Not only that, they have to be wired DIRECT to the box, so there's no excuse - some say it's a waste. Many also now require new construction to have alarms direct wired (FD and or pd/monitor co). You should also spend a few$ on an affordable camera system. for several reasons - catch fake insurance claims (slip and falls), b&e, employee theft and theft in general. You might also save a few $ on your rising insurance costs. AP is generally higher. the strip centers we manage have installed camera systems and have resolved many issues. Stolen oil tanks, ac units, dumping and slip and falls. Beats watching tv. Yahoo!

Yes opening the parking spaces in the long run should help ap businesses... On the weekends. During the week at night not so sure ... Empty dark streets at night people driving thru may not stop. I am usually not concerned about walking to my car after work 10pm... Tuesday was looking over my shoulder as there were no lights on the street(street lights or business lights) businesses should consider some display lighting for the 6pm-10pm hours when they are closed and it's dark... Those driving thru Or eating might see a reason to come Back There is a police presence during the day and on weekends ... Tues-fri/Sunday night none... And if it's raining forget it... This week car break ins and 2 business broken into tuesday night Yes a large anchor store would help foot traffic and most asbury park businesses are very happy to serve 1 cup of coffee Sent from my iPhone Yahoo!

It would be an excellent location. There are territorial limits (for Piaggio - mother company of Vespa, Aprilia, Piaggio etc). So you would need the permission of Stumpy's (on 35 south before Belmar). I tried to get Brooklyn here and said I would watch the scooters. If they parked bright colored ones on Ocean Ave they would attract a lot of attention. But it couldnt be done. Not such an easy business anyway. There's a moped army in town over at Sweet Joey's on Bangs. met his dad Vladimir who works on them (and makes customs jeans in the shop). He has scooters and a great old Fiat 500. I hear there about 15 moped riders in their group. I was supposed to ride with them sunday night but couldnt. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Hinge" wrote: > > Perhaps AP would be a good location for a scooter store? > > --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "dfsavgny" wrote: > > > > > > Ask for Andrew or Marco and tell them Dan Sciannameo referred you. > > > > Jersey City Vespa just closed a few months ago and that would have been > > ideal since you work there.

Ask for Andrew or Marco and tell them Dan Sciannameo referred you. Jersey City Vespa just closed a few months ago and that would have been ideal since you work there. Stumpy's seems like good guys but they don't push the Vespas. Used is a big bargain but you have to make sure the scoot was never laid down (or at least bad, I laid my GTV down doing gymkhana through the cones going into the Lincoln Tunnel last year but not even a scrape because of the cowl protection bars).

Wow, thank you for the info. Definitely going to check this out.

The machines are programmable. You could just add a message to the welcome screen. Or, temporarily cover up the parking signs. Speaking of which, I still have a sign pole without a sign in my front yard. I contacted the city about it several times. 6 months and counting.

blah blah blah... Random anecdotes trotted out to prove long-held opinions.

I've subscribed to this group for 3 years now, a whole year before deciding to make AP my home. You may all have longer-term stakes here than me, but what a lot of stale wind. I'm on the verge of UNsubscribing, because there's rarely more than pontification and name-calling between people whose grudges with each other are yawningly tiresome in such a forum. Yahoo!

go to the steinbach or post building, or for that matter any "condo" around the downtown, If you want to use the steinbach or post lot, it's around another $100 PER MONTH. That's called providing parking for your condos. Right or wrong? Pay per use, but not mandatory, as included in your rent. that was the whole idea of 1.5 parking spots per unit. To have your tenants park in the lot you provided. But when someone sees it added to the rent - or they have an option to opt out (street or state garage cheaper) guess what. But why should you pay the lot designated for your building, if you can secure a spot on mattison or cookman or close by for "free" When is the "new" parking structure going up? Yahoo!

Why would you have to go back and restripe it?

We also see now there is not a HUGE need right now for paid parking, so why not a compromise and give the residents/employees a "grace" period if you will, to get everything in order (find new parking, new means of getting to work etc) I paid today, no complaints Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: "dfsavgny" Sender: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2011 21:59:05 To: Reply-To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today But why go back and stripe again?

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
the value of an empty street. Dan can put numbers as that is his profession. But if own a building or have a business or are considering a business in the immediate area, you just might want figure out where people will park if you want them walking in your door - if you need that kind of traffic or are concerned about your employees. Let's take another example from the real world. I do alot of medical offices in NJ and PA for a Dr. Matter of fact, I did about 32 so far. Many of these are old free standing buildings. Usually we have to go to planning boards and zoning. The problems are usually PARKING. What most towns do is make you follow the local code. Most towns for medical use you need 5 cars per 1,000 sq ft. That's 10 to 15 spots we have to provide as we do buildings 2,000 sq ft and up but we usually double that, for employees and the volume of the practice. What we discovered is that's its much easier to buy existing buildings with large lots. Even then it's a pain. so we now have around 10 former banks that are or have been converted to medical. With parking lots come maintenance, snow removal, insurance etc. All those costs the city in effect picks up. If you are a tenant in a building with a parking lot, you usually contribute towards those costs. It's a trade-off. the city maintains your street. Before you go into business in an urban area like ap with limited parking, do your homework. Will I go to Luigi's or Clancy's because I can park for free and walk right in vs heading to cookman?

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
How else do you propose to stop people from hogging the parking so its available for customers? The parking has been a real big problem. And as I am fond of saying, NO PARKING IS FREE. Believe me, there are a multitude of whitepapers on this. Parking always has a cost regardless of whether a fee is charged or not. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Jenni" wrote: > > What I'm not understanding here is that it was just pointed out that during > the day, Mattison Ave is completely empty.

RE: [AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
What I'm not understanding here is that it was just pointed out that during the day, Mattison Ave is completely empty. So, there seems to be plenty of parking at the current time. I can see that the parking that is available will fill up quickly as businesses grow, and there should be plans in the works to accommodate that, but it seems perfectly reasonable to park on Mattison to grab a cup of coffee, or whatever... is it just that people are insisting to park directly in front of whatever business they're frequenting?

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
The spots not being filled right now by patrons is not because of the metersI am predicting that daytime shopping/eating/drinking will be pick-up once word spreads there is ample parking So many people shop elsewhere purely because there is no parking, hell when I first moved here I was one of them.

RE: [AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
No, but for each person who feels comfortable and happy buying that one cup of coffee, most are going to come back another time and spend more $, bring friends or business associates, etc. It will keep the place in business if you keep the people happy without sacrificing all the profits, and encourage them to make it a comfortable place where they can meet people for coffee, lunch, etc., word of mouth is also the best advertising, so that person with the single cup of coffee who stays an hour may end up sending multiple others.

I'm not sure if Dan deleted his comment about commuting, but I commuted for 5 years from AP to Edgewater, 140 miles a day, 5 days a week. I also commuted for 4 years from Bergen county to Bay Head. In addition, I commuted by train from Allenhurst to Hoboken for 1 year, and rode my bicycle in ALL kinds of weather to my job in Hoboken. I know all about commuting. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "oakdorf" wrote: > > > hinge--- > > like others, I commuted to NYC for a period of time - From Elberon to Penn > station, then walked about 15-20 minutes to Madison Ave carrying my laptop. > Before that, it was the WTC to the seaport.

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
Employees and residents are parking elsewhere, and this is the result. Like I said, in my opinion they should've started with just Cookman, and expanded from there if the need was shown to be valid. It's exactly like what has happened in my neighborhood. By the way, that photo is by Henry Vacarro, Jr. and you should see the comments on the Facebook page it's from. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "oakdorf" wrote: > > > > --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Hinge" wrote: > > > > This is how Mattison has looked for the past 3 days: > > > > http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/178624/sn/142168609/name/mattison_post_meters.jpg > > > > So is people not shopping?

the same gripes about paying to park were on the boardwalk area as well. I would take a shot in the morning of pulling up, running in and grabbing your coffee - or paper.

I have no worries about AP. Its on its way. I've seen it so many times in so many other edgy places. First it was the gay community and now I am seeing a lot of young straight hip people. Being from NYC I dont know NJ that well, but now I understand that to many, they dont have to be in or near Manhattan or even Brooklyn now I remember was saying you were from Brooklyn was bad). There are a lot of young and some older folks who want an urban hip location and they do not have to commute into NYC (AP is too far to really play off that). They are choosing AP. It will continue. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "oakdorf" wrote: > > Just that all those towns have a bit different demographics - and most have a > college community or big business and more. > > You can't keep building taller and inviting more businesses in without having > a realistic parking solution.

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
No I do not and I did not mean my comment to be personal to you, so if thats how you took it, no insult meant. But the hard facts are that buying a single cup of coffee and staying a long time is not going to keep that place in business. The simple fact of the matter whether you or anyone else like's it or not is that the parking spaces on Cookman were filled most of the time. And now that they are not during the week is sort of pretty good proof that they were from folks just parking their cars there because it was free and not because they were in the stores. In fact, I've been in the stores with no one in them and all the spots on Cookman were occupied. So nothing lost by the stores because those people are not parking there anymore. Will some people who went to stores on Cookman not go there because of paid parking Maybe a few, but I do not think that will make or break the stores there. They have larger obstacles to overcome. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Joey Schweigert wrote: > > dfsavgny - > > Do you own a business in town?

as far as safety goes, you have to use common sense. unless the paper wants to have a few pages dedicated to crime in M county, you only see a few snippets of crime. Sit in ap muni court - just for the minor stuff. Usually a full house. Common sense anywhere. First Saturday nights are a great idea that helps people overcome the perception.

Exactly, "perception" When someone from outside of AP see's a headline "man shot in asbury".now they just have AP in their head and a shooting, not where it actually took place So many of my friends have looked at myself and my fiance as if we had 30 heads when we suggested going out to eat in AP 5,6,7 yrs ago, when we finally got them too Cookman they understood it wasn't that bad, it was safe.

I am NOT saying there is crime there now, that is the "perception" outsiders have.

Apparently some of you weren't around before 1984-1994, when a few stores were still open on Cookman like Jay Davids, the Youth Center, Wolco's, The Press Box, Rexall Drugs and Lynn's was still open.

The Asbury Park Police would chalk the back of your tire and ticket you, unless you fed the meter. City Hall was on Bangs Ave. and you had to walk up a flight of stairs to pay your fine. $2.00! The whole downtown was still open in 1970 with Steinbach's as the anchor store, The Press was next to 1st Merchant's Bank on Mattison Ave. I ate at the Press Box everyday, when I was pregnant, just for the kosher dill pickle. I would get the #18 or #20 bus from So. Belmar into Asbury Park, after dropping my 5 year old to Afternoon Kindergarten, spend just enough time in AP to pick my daughter up from school and walk the few blocks home from Belmar Elementary School. On Wednesdays, Asbury Park Stores were open late. Imagine a soft snow falling while you're Christmas Shopping. I never forgot that and the "Village" feel to what I thought was New England! C'mon, I was new here. Just some fond memories I have about this area and what it meant to the natives and my children, who saw the changes evolve here. Pay the fee, have a cup of coffee, enjoy the scene. Wish I could still ride a bike, fearless. I love reading how many of you ride yours. Life is short. I still don't think residents should pay to park in front of their own homes and don't understand a council that won't paint "residents only with decal" that glues inside the windshield, for the outrageous taxes they pay. I live 2 blocks from Cookman. Being the "commuter" Mom I was, I'd drive! Like Mrs. Magoo! Show me where the crime is downtown, please! I mean Cookman, Mattison and the Wesley Lake area. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, cbrianwatkins@... wrote: > > Seriously?

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
Just that all those towns have a bit different demographics - and most have a college community or big business and more. You can't keep building taller and inviting more businesses in without having a realistic parking solution. This has been the case in AP since the beginning of time, when cars were few. ...Within the next few days signs will appear along Asbury Park's main street, Cookman Avenue, appealing to the public to refrain from parking cars any longer than necessary. The merchants hope that this system will work, though the ordinance forbidding parking more than 20 minutes on Cookman Avenue has failed to keep the street clear. I posted this before... http://www.asburyboardwalk.com/oldnews/1900/1920/0926.htm The thing that differs me from a lot of other people running for the President of the United States is that I focus on the problem first. Then I focus on what the solution is. Herman Cain Yahoo!

I think you've hit the nail on the head, and the reason why Cookman now looks abandoned. Practically everything is a specialty store. If there were something akin to a modern Woolworths, you'd generate traffic and lead the curious to the specialty shops. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "oakdorf" wrote: > > You have to define what a "weekday shopper" is. > > What would draw one to to shop AP - is it selection, price, the scene, food, > proximity to other place of interest that day and parking. > > that comes down to is it a weekday destination shopping trip?

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
You have to define what a "weekday shopper" is. What would draw one to to shop AP - is it selection, price, the scene, food, proximity to other place of interest that day and parking. that comes down to is it a weekday destination shopping trip? Or are those people more likely to go to the mall on a rainy day or The Grove in Shrewsbury. You want daytime life on cookman? Then like it or not, you need a major co (or groups of little ones) who have employees with disposable incomes and or a major shopping destination - like a Marshalls where people just walk in and buy tons of useless items. We had this discussion before. What you have now is the funkiness that you want so cater to the night business of music and restaurants ( that means be open when people ARE there). You can't be closed when people are there and open when they aren't Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
Some people are suggesting that the parking meters might actually increase crime when people are trying to use the poorly lit meters at night, especially approaching the midnight hour. I'm not sure if I agree with that, but it could be a valid point. People pulling out their wallets on the street could be sitting ducks. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, cbrianwatkins@... wrote: > > Seriously?

Seriously? A discussion about parking meters has turned into threatening to boycott someone's business (if they even own one) because of their opinion Are we adults or children?

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
Starbucks in NJ has parking - most by local code. Here's a real good example. Most of you see the new strip center on the AP circle - more or less vacant. It cost over $3 million to complete it. A new coffee shop has been slated to open there. While the town let them build 15,000 sq ft on this land, there may not be enough parking. So they made a deal with the landowner next door to "borrow" spaces. The problem is if a restaurant goes in there, they will need more spaces say then a dry cleaner - because there is no turnover of spots. The problem with the coffee shop - from what I hear - is that they want to put in tables (aka starbucks) instead of having a "grab-n-go" type of coffee shop. The more tables you want, the more parking spaces you need. Why? Tendency is, you walk in, bring your laptop, makeup, cellphones, buy one coffee, use their toilet, grab a few extra sugars for your house, use ten napkins to clean the seat and table and invite your non-paying friends over to "your" living room and toilet for the next two hours, then complain your coffee is cold. The coffee shops in AP need two things - residents and offices. Do coffee shops face fears from more people using their Keurig k-cups at 40 cents a pop? Or is coffee and the lounge a social experience that people are willing to pay for and the owner has to take the good with the bad. America's cup has a done a nice job of coming in early and being there. Yahoo!

Actually, $1 to park is a deterrent. When you add $1 to a cup of chai tea (or coffee) for your drive in addition to having to find a parking spot, people will think twice.

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
For me, I ride my bike so it's not really an issue. I'm also willing to give it a chance, and I'm viewing the downtown parking change as a separate issue from my home parking issue. I will continue to feel that when my friends come to visit me at my home on 1st Ave. between Sept and May that it's absurd that they will have to pay to park on my block when nobody else is parking there. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, cbrianwatkins@... wrote: > > I had a lengthy discussion about this last night, and I've concluded that > this will be good for the business' downtown.

And dan's right. people that live in the steinbach/Post (for example) tend not to want to pay another $100 or whatever it is for one monthly spot in their lots. Some have state garage spots, others, until this went into effect, would dump the car on the street. So that's 80 +/-units. Granted some aren't here 24/7, others are and commute. then you have another bunch that alone work in those places in the Steinbach. And I'm used to the meters. like I said, if you're willing to pay $8.00 per glass from a $7.00 bottle of wine and $12 for a mixed drink and the one serving you has an attitude... the parking is the least of the problems. If we go to morristown shopping and park in their muni garage - I think the first hour or two is validated from the merchant. So if I come in your place, drop $120 for an appetizer, dinner and a couple drinks, I'd be ok paying for parking or be happy if the merchant gave me a "parking credit". Ps, some guy called me the other day looking for indoor secured parking. Seems the spot he had in the muni garage cost him convertible top $2300. someone slashed it. Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
I had a lengthy discussion about this last night, and I've concluded that this will be good for the business' downtown. Too many spots held all day by residents and others who were not shopping. I know a guy from Ocean who parked on Cookman to take the train into NYC because he felt his car was safer there. (He also sparked the convo last night) My point is that's one free'd up space for several people to shop with now. If people are parking there because they work downtownI say suck it up. I pay $22 a day to park at my job. This is going to create turnover.good turnover, which is something that has been non existent downtown. Store owners should look into vouchers, work with the Chamber of Commerce, I see a lot of other stores that do this in other towns/cities I just feel this is going to be a good thing, it may take time for it to show, but it will be good Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: "dfsavgny" Sender: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:14:37 To: Reply-To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today It was Tuesday.

It could be good for business for other reasons too. For example, i never shop at Lush because there's no parking and the nature of what i'm buying is heavy.

[AsburyPark] Re: Downtown paid parking went into effect today
Cookman midweek is tough. If the spaces were filled with residents and employees then nothing lost. Parking was definitely a problem on weekends. If someone has a problem spending $1 to park then you don't need them as a customer. (BTW, you can buy 1 minutes, or 30 minutes). That'll be the same cheapskate that buys a cup of coffee and sits there for 2 hours. Parking is NEVER free. It always has a cost. BTW Hinge, did they suspend parking on your block? I saw your VW in a numbered spot in front of your house the other day, or did you buy ht parking pass? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Hinge" wrote: > > Prior to implementing the paid parking, several Cookman business's were > complaining that they weren't getting much traffic because it was hard for > the customers to find a place to park.

Facebook comment from the people at Yoga Basin: "challenging for our yoga basin to remain competitive when our students will now pay an additional $2 / class. Since our classes are 1.45min/ time in & out = $2/class. Add that up for students taking 3 classes a week = $6 x 52 weeks ... the math is not pretty." --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Hinge" wrote: > > Prior to implementing the paid parking, several Cookman business's were > complaining that they weren't getting much traffic because it was hard for > the customers to find a place to park.
