Some commuters park on Cookman because the Transportation Centers lot (which is feet from the police station) often has break-ins. I park there, and I park on the Memorial Side.
Ironically my car has been broken into on Cookman (2009) and Bond (2011) but not once at the Train Station Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: "Hinge" <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:09:46 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: 2003 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?
