Stone Harbor Scoring on Parking Tickets
It’s not often that you hear about towns writing $50,000 worth of parking tickets in a month, especially in a small, cozy Jersey Shore town like Stone Harbor. But that’s exactly what’s happening, in 2023, the year that car parkers have found they’re not getting away without paying the towns for the privilege of parking on a public street. Stone Harbor recently switched to the parking app called ParkMobile. The total number of tickets issued in June were 1,457, with a violation cost of $34 each, bringing to the city coffers over $49,000 in just one month. And just consider the population of Stone Harbor is 787. We’re not even into July and August. You better get out your smartphones and learn how to use this stupid app, or otherwise you’re going to be paying out the nose to park in this great little Jersey Shore town.
Currently the towns using this parking app include Jersey City, Hoboken, New Brunswick, Asbury Park, Ocean City, Wildwood and Belmar. One good thing about the app is it sends you an alert when your parking meter is about to expire. Whoopee!
It’s getting kind of scary now that even the Jersey Shore has gone digital when it comes to parking. There’s no getting out of the parking fee or the tickets you get if you don’t download this app. People have complained but the police are not lending a sympathetic ear. What’s next?
