Pardon me please....
but didn't downtown Ocean City go through a revitalization plan
and renovation, a virtually complete rebuilding of traffic lanes
as such, in the last decade. Somebody must have really screwed
up if after all the work done on the roads in the last two decades,
is all wrong ? No that can't be... it
just means the tax payers get screwed again by the Town Council
of Ocean City spending their money as though it was their own. The
reason for the study was traffic congestion south of 17th Street.
Results of the $100,000 commissioned Traffic Study. 1.)
More signs. 2.) More parking meters, higher inlet
parking fees, high traffic fines. (That always decreases traffic,
you know, just another reason for people NOT to go to Ocean City. 3.)
Change traffic signal timing. So that they work right
in the first place. 4.) Two way streets into one way streets
[sic] ie: easier for people to get the hell out. 5.) Extend
the bus lane south. 6.) More parking areas... uh.. like
where ? Here come the garage, here comes the garage. 7.)
Sidewalks. 8.) A new Route 50 Inlet Bridge, especially
one that doesn't smell like cut mullet and squid.
There were
forty or so recommendations, but the other ones must have been
so stupid they have failed to be mentioned.
We know it's tough for the town to figure these
things out themselves, or specificly somebody in the town that could
stand up and say they knew what they were doing. But for a town
that bacically needs a study to tell them where the beach is, because
we know the town council never goes there, maybe $100,000
is a deal ? or Is it a steal ?
