Borough of Deal at it again!

[njdiver]

From: Andrew L. Chambarry, COBRA

The Borough of Deal is planning on discussing and possibly introducing another Ordinance on Wednesday to issue permits for parking on Hathaway, Neptune, Sydney and Monmouth Dr. on "one side of the street" - another access restriction to the newly replenished beaches. If you care about access to these beaches please show up and voice your concerns at Deal Borough Hall, Wednesday (6/29) at 5:00 PM.

This never ends. They won't be happy until there is no access for fishermen at all.
thanks for posting

They are following Sea Bright they are not restricting fishing or access just giving residents a place to park. You'll just have to walk 2 or 3 blocks they are reverting back to the 70's

[bababooey]

No offense, but ask the question who spends more money, tourists or fishermen? Answer that and you have the motivation as to why they did it.

For the life of me, I don't know why NJ just doesn't use eminent domain to take all the ocean front properties away and turn it all into one big state park.

They certainly should have done that to Sea Bright.

Oh yeah, $$.

I like that guy he really tells it like it is. I hope people don't get mad at me for saying this but I hope another hurricane comes along and wrecks every single Richie Rich house out there. They took Federal money for that work and now they want to keep the riffraff out. F them!

Battle Brewing Over Limited Public Parking Proposal At New Jersey Beach


June 29, 2016 6:04 PM


DEAL, N.J. (CBSNewYork)– There’s a battle over public parking at a beach in New Jersey.


Beach access points are bustling in Deal and the parking nearby is open, for now.


“It’s actually really helpful when I can park right here near the beach,” Oakhurst resident Stephanie Stout told CBS2’s Vanessa Murdock.


Stout hits the beach daily, but worries an ordinance being introduced at borough hall Wednesday evening could change her carefree lifestyle.


“The ordinance would restrict public parking to one side of the street Thursday through Sunday and on holidays,” she said.


The other side would be for residents with permits only. The ordinance applies to some, but not all roads that lead to the beach.


It seems to be an exclusionary tactic and Red Bank resident Bill Brooks has a big problem with that.


“All the beach you see beside me was replenished after Sandy with federal funds,” he said. “Quite frankly everyone in this country helped pay for this new beach.”


Sean McDonough with Citizens In Opposition to Beach Restrictive Access, or COBRA, helped stave off a similar ordinance introduced in October. He said it’s starting to feel like public money has been used to create private beaches.


“We just want to be able to use the ocean – we feel it’s the right of all us,” he said.


The mayor said they are not restricting beach access in any way. In a statement he wrote, “We are looking to give the residents that are located in the immediate vicinity of the free beach access entryways, some relief in the way of parking by allocating 50 percent of the spaces for residents and 50 percent for visitors.”


A homeowner, who didn’t want to go on camera, told CBS2 she wishes the borough would take it a step further and restrict parking to residents only. She claims there are too many strange people coming in and out and feels that parking should only be there for whose who pay the taxes.

Thanks for posting and keeping us up-to-date. I hope Andrew Chambarry keeps the pressure on and is up to the task of fighting them legally, because otherwise they will win.

Why don't you New Jersey guys just get together behind the scenes and send 200 fishermen to the meeting? that's what we did in Brookhaven Shoreham Beach. It took a few meetings but they saw how many people showed up and they had to listen to us eventually.

Beach access advocate claims victory after Deal agrees to table parking ordinance


Posted July 8, 2016 In News

A parking ordinance that would effectively hinder beach access in Deal has been tabled, a beach access advocate said.


?Victory! At the Borough Hall meeting this morning, the mayor and council agreed to table Ordinance #1134. This is another small victory for beach access in Monmouth County,? announced Andrew Chambarry, an attorney and the leader of the ?COBRA: Citizens in Opposition to Beach Restrictive Access? group.


The ordinance would create resident parking only along one side of Hathaway, Neptune [at right], and Sydney avenues, Deal Esplanade, Darlington Road, Ocean Lane, Monmouth Drive and Monmouth Terrace, Borough Administrator Stephen Carasia said last month.


The ordinance will officially be tabled at during the 9 a.m. July 27 governing body meeting at Deal borough hall.


?However, the Borough has stated that they will study the ?parking issues? and will likely come up with another proposal in the future,? Chambarry said.


?We need to work with the borough to come up with a fair and equitable proposal for beach access and parking in Deal,? he added. ?We are still urging those interested to come to the meeting on July 27 to thank the Borough and submit suggestions and comments on what should be done with parking in the area.?


Late last year during a similar attempt, which was later tabled, Chambarry said such an ordinance is unconstitutional and would place a substantial burden on the public?s ability to access the beach, which he calls a ?traditional public forum,? since it limits access to non-residents.

hip hip hooray for Andrew Chambarry and Cobra!

Thanks for keeping us informed. I hate those rich people. They act like they didn't get one dime from the federal government. Without the beach replenishment their houses would be aquariums.
