POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ — Parking on public streets and in municipal lots in Point Pleasant Beach would cost local residents more if an ordinance that would bring about the first rate hike in nearly a decade gains approval later this month. An ordinance which that would increase the price of parking by 25 cents passed first reading following a vote of the Point Pleasant Borough Council at its Tuesday meeting. Mayor Paul Kanitra said that the ordinance will go through a second reading at the council's next meeting on March 16 and if passed, the ordinance would go into effect thereafter, Kanitra said. The ordinance states that Kanitra and members of the Borough Council are aware of the need for the continuing need to regulate parking prices in designated areas around Point Pleasant Beach. The increase would be across the board for hourly parking rates in effected areas, Kanitra said.
