205-211 Philadelphia Avenue municipal parking acquisition

Ocean City

Description

The town's effort to buy four derelict parcels for a 76-space public parking lot has stalled — the owner's attorney hasn't responded since early May. The council will send a direct letter with a deadline, and eminent domain was discussed as an option.

Impact summary

If acquired, the site would add 76 downtown parking spaces next to a traffic signal near the Ocean Bowl and Bayside Park — easing a long-standing shortage.
