CITY COMMISSION ME}t~IUO August 15, 1949 parking problem along hi street; 80 I wrote hbn for his views and the following is an excerpt from his letter dated ..Tuly 19 : "\\hen I appeared before the Traffic Conunittee at the request of the Assooiation in the absence of Mr. Blackmer, r Baid that while I did n~t believe in angle parking, hlr. Blackmer we s sold op the idea and 1 presented it as his idea as to the solution of the Gulf View Boulevard problom. The Chief of Police a t the t time did not ap- prove of it. I told Mr. Blackmer that while I did not believe that angle parking would be a good thing# I Vlould go along with it if the majority of my neishbors wanted it but I understood from 1I1r. Stovln that he did not approve of it. I sugp,ested that beforo we ask the City to prevent parldng em the east side of the Boulevard, we should be auro that all of the home owners on that side of the street had been givon the opportunit~.. to express themselves. I felt tllat angle parking would produce accidents and I did not see why, to make room for outsiders b~l angle parking on Vleel~ends, we ShOllld be prevented from parking in f'ront of our homes all week. I said I thought it was merely a weekend problom. I did say if' ant;le parking were to be ins ta lled, I would prefer not to ha va a IIno par1:ing" sign Bet up in front of my property. I still not not see the advantage that will flow from preven- tj.ng parking on the East side of the Boulevard all the tinte ~or the sake of angle parking on the West side of the street. However, if that is what my neighbors want I will so along w~th it. Incidentally, I enclose YOll her-ewi th a clippin~ from Sunday's Newark News which shows the experience of one of our shore munici- palities with angle parking and which I predict will be the result of our experiment. 1 think the Gulf View Boulevard problem, which is only a weekend problem, could be solved if a policeman or two were to be kept a t the Boulevard on weekends in the sununer time, for it is not a winter problem and if trucks were forbidden to park on the Boulevard. I told that to the Chief of Police before I left and pointed out that it was a reasonable re~ulation which the courts had upheld throughout the country. I would rather see trucks f'or- bidden than to have angle parking but again, I am quite willing to be governed by the wishes of my neighbors f'or in the final analysis it is a sunrrner problem.1t Cordially Signed: Ralph W.

Tl1e Chie� of Poliae a�� that time did not ap- prove of it.

Stovin that he did not approve oi` it. I sug�estec� that before we ask the Cit�* to prevent parl�ing on the east s3de of the Boulevrard, we should be sure that all of the home owners on tha� s3de of the �treet had been given the opportunitg to express themselves. T felt tl�at angle parkin� would produce acciden�s and I did not see why, to make room for outszders bg angle parkin� on weekends, K�e should be �revented from parking in front of our homes all vreek. I said I thou�ht it was merely a weekend prob].em. I did�say if an@;le parking v�ere to be installed, I woulcl prefer not to i� ve a��no parking" si�n set up in front of my property. I still not not see the advantage thAt vrill flov� fraut preven- t�n� parking on the Eaet side of the Boulevard all the t;.me �'or the sake of angle parkin� on the West side of the street. However, if that is what my neighbors want I will go alon� with it. 3nc3dentallg, T enclose you heretvith � clippin�; from Sunday�s Newaxk Idews which sho�vs the experience of. one of our shore munici- palities �vith angle parking and which 2 predict will be the rasult of our axperiment. I think tY!e Gulf View Boulevard problem, which is only a vreekend problem, could be solved if a policeman or tv��o were to be kept at the Boulevard on weekends in the summer time, =or it is not e winter problem and if trucks ware forbidden to park on the Boulevard. I told that to the Chief of Police before I left and pointed out that it was a reasonavle regulation v�hich the courts had upheld throughout the country, I woulci rather see triicks for- bidden than ta have angle parking but aga3n, I am quite vrilli.ng to be governed �S the wishes of my noighbors for in the final analysis it is a sununer problem. ° Cordially Si�nad; Ralph 1V.
