Currently, residents and employees with passes are supposed to park along Lake Ave. You keep it that way, and instead of a high priced permit, you make it a $5 to $10 a year resident parking sticker (That's what I paid when I lived in Edgewater) and a comparable employee parking permit. Keep it affordable with today's economic reality in mind. Keep Cookman and the surrounding areas 2 hour free parking. If you screw up, you get a ticket. Simple.
It's also a city/NJ transit problem if commuters are parking on Cookman. I hope I'm not giving the impression that I'm the only person with these thoughts. I'm the only person from my office who posts here. I don't think this group gives an accurate sampling of what people are actually talking about concerning parking. --- In [email protected], cbrianwatkins@... wrote: > > How would 2hr parking solve it though?
