[AsburyPark] Parking Meters

[MarioAPNJ]

Lots of collective wisdom on this board, so I figured I'd ask here.   I just read the Coaster article about the city's plans for new parking meters.  Does anyone have solid information (e.g., studies) regarding the pros and cons of parking fees in towns like Asbury Park?  I'm not predisposed either way, just curious.   Wasn't free parking one of the reasons shoppers originally flocked to the malls, deserting town shopping districts in the process?   Regarding beachfronts:  What's the rationale behind Belmar having meters and Spring Lake (and I think Bradley Beach) not having them?               __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Asbury park home Asbury park nj Asbury park hotel Asbury park foreclosure Asbury park real estate Asbury park YAHOO!
