There have been many discussions on Blogfinger in recent years regarding parking. Most of the time the discussions have been about meters or about whether Neptune is following State rules regarding parking, for example for condo developers. We also have discussed the problem of Asbury vagabonds parking in the Grove to escape their meters. But, on occasion, someone will wonder why the homeowners in the Grove do not receive a reserved parking space. When this subject comes up, we usually hear that it is not feasible.
Here is our last piece on parking. You should read about it again: http://blogfinger.net/2013/02/21/parking-here-we-go-again-stirring-the-pot/
However, we have never asked this question in a poll, so we decided to do that and to frame it as asking whether one free space per building would be desirable to help alleviate the parking problems which those of us who actually live here experience.
Arguing about parking is great fun and a sport that is especially unique in this town. This poll is not scientific but some science is not scientific. What it is is (do you know what is is?) a public opinion sampling which may give an idea as to how Ocean Grove feels about this question. But don’t bet the farm on our results, and please don’t cheat by stuffing our digital ballot box and letting dead people vote or other chicanery.
