OCEAN CITY – The Mayor and City Council were not swayed as easily this week as they were three years ago to overturn a decision to install paid parking on 146th Street. Last week, the Mayor and City Council began receiving a heavy dose of emails and complaints from irritated Ocean Place Condominium owners located on the ocean block between 146th and 145th streets regarding their decision to install paid parking on 146th Street as a means to increase revenue in the next fiscal year. At that time, City Engineer Terry McGean identified 146th Street along with several other locations in town as potential locations to initiate paid parking. The council voted to install paid parking on 146th Street from Coastal Highway to the beach as well as 49th Street from Coastal Highway to the beach, 131st Street from Coastal Highway to Sinepuxent and on the west side of Philadelphia Avenue from South 1st to North Division streets. In June of 2010, the Mayor and City Council was presented with a plan to implement paid parking on 146th Street to increase revenue. The council approved the request along with extending and widening the street to place additional parking at that location. However, after a flooding of emails and angry Ocean Place condominium owners in council chambers, the majority of the council changed its mind about putting parking meters on the street. Since the decision was reversed, city staff has been keeping a close eye on who is actually parking on that street. McGean and Public Works Director Hal Adkins reported the license plates of cars parked on the street during the summer were mostly out of state. Ocean Place Condominium Association President Mac Balkcom came before the Mayor and City Council during Tuesday’s work session to voice the concerns of the condominium owners. “Everyone in our association is against this paid parking on 146th Street. We feel it will unfairly disadvantage our condominium … because in spite of what you see on the plates of the cars that park there a lot of those are owners in our building, or renters, or a family of owners, so we disagree with this notion that these people are daytrippers,” he said. “We think we have been singled out. We don’t think this is fair. We would like to know why it is not appropriate for you to let us know your plans on this ahead of time … I think you all had already made up your mind, so we would really like for you to reconsider.” Balkcom pointed out daytrippers coming from Delaware have SEE NEXT PAGE
