Sensible Parking Requirements = Responsible Governance (Registered BH Voter)

As a Beach Haven taxpayer, registered to legally vote elsewhere, I am concerned:

Over the past year it has become apparent that the parking ordinance used for new real estate development exacerbates an existing, and increasing parking, traffic, and pedestrian safety problem in our community.

As an example, the current ordinance allowed a new 160+ seat restaurant/venue (Station 117) to be approved and completed with a net additional four parking space, which included the loss of public on-street parking spaces to provide access to the on-site parking lot.

Despite many comments made by residents and taxpayers, the BH Borough Council and our Borough Manager have ignored this growing issue. This is irresponsible governance.

The impending Morrison's Marina hotel/restaurant/venue/roof top entertainment development will dwarf the above example significantly. While I support development in Beach Haven, it must be managed responsibly.

By signing this petition I request the adoption of the new, responsible ordinance, effective 8/24/19. Thank you.
