I agree about the strong and consistant enforcement. That's why it works in places like AC and Wildwood. It's really just limited, morning hours. Maybe even push the noon limit back to 11 am.

You keep saying that it is just a few people who do not ride responsibly. This is not so. Over half of the bikes on the boardwalk are constantly speeding and a disaster is just waiting to happen. **Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

The A/C unit you are talking about, on the south end of the pavilion isn't what I'm talking about, although it's an eyesore in it's own right, and won't work well with a restored bandshell. You don't put a roaring A/C unit next to a stage where mostly un-amplified music is being presented, wh

Once again, I disagree. There are hours of the day in which there are hardly any pedestrians at all. Early morning hours should be open to pedestrians, runners and cyclists, particularly during the week. I get up at 6 am for work, and when I take a bike ride at 6:30 on the boardwalk, there is

I take back part of what I just said a minute ago.  People in the know keep referring to the new AP as something similar to South Beach, FL.  Meaning, the same idea, not the same place.  Family in the daytime, and a complete different adult friendly lifestyle at night.  I guess the high end

As much as I love riding on the boardwalk, I think they should simply enforce the hours for cycling that are posted. During the week, there is plenty of room for both pedestrians and responsible cyclists prior to noon, which is the cut-off time. Rather then shutting down the boardwalk to all b
