DEAL – A brewing war over beachfront parking has been averted at least for now.
A plan to make several streets permit-only parking available to residents was tabled Wednesday by the borough s three commissioners.
The ordinance would have required parking permits from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday on five streets in the southern end of town: Monmouth Terrace, Monmouth Drive, Hathaway Avenue, Sydney Avenue and Neptune Avenue.
The plan was to issue permits only to people who live on those streets.
The borough received pushback on the measure from public access advocates, including the Surfrider Foundation, and state legislators, who saw the measure as blocking public access.
