Editor’s note:
So ZOOM is out, and some other mechanism is in its place. Nothing comes easy when Neptune Township’s transparency is at stake. They tell you to use Chrome browser. How many of you have that?
And do you really want to attend this meeting which is bizarre—it is essentially a workshop presented by the Township which has invited the Camp Meeting’s private parking company to present their “plan.” This plan is biased to begin with since the CMA is paying for this long delayed study, and we know what their goals are.
What town would let a private group’s inherent bias take over a public process like parking which affects everyone in town including merchants and tourists. How does a private plan achieve approval and implementation in the public space?
And will our representative government, the Neptuners, look out for the best interest of our mostly secular residents with over 3,000 people in the census count and then there are the additional citizens who own or rent homes but don’t get counted by the census?
Blogfinger will stand back and wait for the Better Parking Alliance, the Neptuner Committee and the impotent Home Groaners to tell us their views as they get sucked into the CMA’s proposal.
Will these groups come together and stand for the residents of the Grove instead of special interests?
It will be interesting to find out if the Kimley Horn company can solve our parking problems when the two most important variables: too few spaces and too many tourists will be ignored while they juggle all the balls in the air.

This will be like the Mad Tea Party:
The OGCMA owns an auditorium that holds 6,000 people, why isn’t this important meeting being held where the public can attend?
Is Neptune and the OGCMA working together to promote an invalid parking report?
Is the OGCMA’s report following and including state mandated requirements for parking for all their facilities and leaseholds they control?
Is the OGCMA’s parking study based on Neptune’s invalid and illegal zoning requirements for OG?
If any of these questions are answered with a yes, then we in OG are dealing with major corruption.
