A parking solution: Trade in your Prius and get one of these.
By Paul Goldfinger, Editor @Blogfinger
For years the Home Groaners Association resisted the pleas of citizens to once again bring up the subject of a parking plan that would benefit the residents of Ocean Grove. They used to have a parking committee, but it was a failure and then it fell asleep like Rip Van Winkle.
In recent years, we have had many ideas suggested on Blogfinger indicating that there might be a solution that would offer some relief in town for the tax payers, but the township ignored us and so did the HGA which, after all, takes its marching orders from Randy Bishop. OK so we brought it up again–so what? Did your kids or spouse ever get their way by nagging? One time we asked the Township to reconsider meters, and Mary Beth had a temper tantrum and called me a “pot stirrer.” a nickname I cherish.
Now we learn that that the HOA will again establish a parking committee, but let’s hope that they plan to take a partisan position (and that position is not bend over and touch your toes) in demanding that the Township finally do something useful for us. This information was leaked by Ken Buckley, one of the silent minority who populate the HGA board.
And if the HGA does acquire the nerve, they might demand that the North End Plan be junked permanently—period!
