Parking fees will increase throughout town, beginning next month.
Last Monday, the Ocean City Council approved a resolution, effectively increasing paid parking on streets and in municipal lots throughout town.
The fee change will take effect April 1.
Fees for the Inlet lot, as well as all on-street paid parking and parking lots located on blocks abutting the beach or Boardwalk would be set at $3.50 per hour in the shoulder season and $4.50 during the summer season. Those rates would then decrease to $2.50 per hour in the shoulder season and $3.50 during the summer season for parking spaces not adjacent to the beach or Boardwalk.
“We’re proposing to tier the parking system,” said Parking Manager Jon Anthony, “so it costs more near the beach than somewhere else.”
Good! That will keep even more people out!!! Family resort, my A$$!!
There is not one single thing in Ocean City that is not largely overpriced. It’s ridiculous . Families just can’t afford to go there anymore. There are a lot of less expensive places to go that have a lot less problems going on.
