Provide for handicap parking near the PP boards. Currently, there is no such thing.

From 10/1 to 4/1, I would allow free parking on the boardwalk side streets. This would encourage greater attendance in winter months. Most of the time these spaces are empty because there is free parking on the other side of the ocean street.

Great idea MJK

In both communities, for the local authorities to take steps to actively encourage the construction of some affordable workforce housing. It's the right thing to do, even if it does mean the towns would have a slight reduction in their overall tax ratables. At least some of the lower-income people who work here ought to be able to live here. And, a greater percentage of the kids who grow up here ought to be able to afford to move back someday.

Sidewalks! I wish the Boro had sidewalks!

Yes, I agree about the sidewalks! Herbertsville Road leads to ALL 4 schools in the Boro but it is treacherous to walk or bike to school along this road. Also, is it possible to just expand the Honeywell Instant Alert system calling list (or add another list to it for town emergencies). Honeywell was used plenty during Sandy for announcements other than school info. It just seems to me that it is already there, and being used, just expand its calling list.

What I would like to see in both towns. Is Mayors and Council Members acting like Adults. Stop playing politics and games being they are dragging down some of the innocent residents with them. Stop being disingenuous in the decisions that are being made. They need to start putting the residents first above all. They need to get a hold on taxes and do what they have to accomplish this goal. They need to get a backbone and stand up to the police contracts, town contracts, do what they have to even if it means layoffs.

Clean up Bridge Ave!. A few years go, there was an awesome proposal on the table to make it look a little more like a town center. Better parking, sidewalks, center island to help with crossing, beautiful landscape,etc. most of the monies would come from federal monies to use or lose. Lets put the efforts into upgrading the appearance of our great town, reflecting the pride we have in our community. Take the lead from our neighboring towns who have put in that effort, keeping their property values high, unlike our other neighbors who have earned the nicknames of Bricktucky and Howellabama! Wake up Boro!

All great ideas for the Boro that are in various stages of development. Mayor Schroeder this year got the state to commit to the work and expense of the engineering of a new Bridge Ave design, Counciman Leitner has been working on Safe Routes To Schools and Safe Streets programs since day one, and I hope to see Improvement Zoning for our commercial areas after adoption of the new Master Plan. These are vital but time consuming efforts that have committees dedicated to them that are always looking for more folks to help achieve their goals, so please come and get involved. Emergency communications systems are under revue and will be implemented in 2013. Council meets twice a month, we need your voices, your ideas, and your participation. A happy and wonderful New Year to the Boro in 2013!

It is completely idiotic for citizens to show up at a council meeting and watch the council go in to executive session.
Show up once a month at 6.00 pm and do your private business prior to meeting(it can be posted and you can have an hour of your own time if needed )and be there at 7.00 to Talk to public and actually listen and deal with other matters.

Post the agenda no later than 9.00 am the day before .
That allows all citizens the ability to review agenda.

Then you can walk a little of the walk of open government instead of talking the talk!

And dont reply that the State makes us do it.
The State does not set your Agenda ,,,you do ....and start showing us that the citizens are first priority.
And by the way ,,,show up!!

I would like cheaper beach badges to home owners in Beach and Boro. We have a beautiful beach and many don't take advantage due to the high cost to go for a few enjoyable minutes when we have free time.

Would a little parking enforcement outside of District 4 in The Beach be too much to ask for? Yeah, it probably is.

How about closing all the bars at midnight, instituting a tax for these establishments to remain open and give it over to high paid attorneys to sort out?

We would love to see a dog park in our community. We, along with many other responsible local pet owners, drive good distances to use parks in other towns so our dogs can have some "playtime". Also, I would be glad to purchase a badge or pass so my lab could enjoy our beaches unleashed - even if it was only during certain hours or off-season.

I must disagree and say all the dog owners I know clean up after their pets. I, on occasion, have cleaned up after other people's pets in a park or on the beach. I also pick up all types of litter dropped by lazy people that can't locate trash bins a lot more often. It is sad that all the good, responsible owners and pets have to suffer for the few that don't care. Also, as far as I know, dogs are not allowed off their leashes anywhere in Beaver Dam Park.

Also Mary Ann, I believe Pt Beach has an option that for a small one time fee...you can have your dogs run free on the school property, when school is out for the day. Something to do with geese.

Sheesh!!!! Some of you need to look in your own backyard!

Really? Was that comment necessary?
