MM has obligations to the redevelopment of the city. The redevelopment would
mean more jobs and employment on the boardwalk. So, a good developer would see
a logical consequence; more jobs and employment means certain things for the
development of parking infrastructure. If that's not
nice to see someone called back from AP. I'd rather someone from the PD instead
of some large "parking authority".
as for the NY PD, they were nice as well when I had to schlep to brooklyn tow

handicapped. Very nice dealing

While the city has right to charge, this policy creates a nickle-and-dimed
effect. Requiring seasonal employees to purchase year-round passes doesn't
make any sense. Sure, it comes out to $1.08 a day, but every cent counts.
There should be a pro-rated option, which would be $25. In the end

They should get 100 per employee that wants to take a city spot that could

It's simple. Why should the city make money off of employees that are already
making money for the city due to their employment. I agree with one thing: let
the boardwalk biz's and MM work together and provide an employee only parking
area. It just seems like the right thing to do in my opinion.

I can't disagree with any of that, but why should the city get $100 per
employee when the employees are already economically contributing to the city?

I'm not disagreeing with you about that - just that it's not the city's
responsibility to do so. Madison Marquette/Asbury Partners has lots of space.
Rather than taking away from the city's revenue opportunities they should pave

Technology is real neat.
Nice you can print beach tickets from the meters - and probably anything you
want to have programmed in. I'd leave it real SIMPLE since most people can't
figure it out. Leave the pay station for parking. MAYBE on the BW put in a few
machines to do both.
Congratulations
