This morning I had a question about parking at the Library. I would like to hear YOUR ideas, but as Mayor, I would work to institute longer free parking hours for residents (at least 4 hours, perhaps more) so you can patronize our restaurants, shops, the theater on Broad Street, the library, and enjoy our beach in the summertime! And, I will work on a summer permit system for residents adjacent to the tourist district to allow for guest parking in front of their home when they are having an event.
Mark your calendar and VOTE on Tuesday, February 20th!
