It won’t be long until summer days are upon us! Want to make this your best summer yet? See below!
AVALON MUST CONSERVE WATER, said Borough Administrator Scott Wahl at a council meeting last month. Last summer Avalon was pumping all five of its wells at full capacity during times of peak usage, utilizing 87% of the water allocated to the borough by the state. Wahl cited automatic irrigation systems among the factors contributing to overuse. Wahl also said the borough itself is guilty of overuse, pointing to the 8th Street athletic fields, which Wahl said performed just as well with every-other-day irrigation instead of daily watering.
PARKING was discussed again by Stone Harbor Borough Council, as the current system was reviewed for potential changes ahead of the 2024 season. For 2023 a new system was introduced using the Park Mobile app to replace traditional parking meters and payment kiosks, resulting in a significant increase in parking violations issued during the summer season. Among the options discussed were more and better signage and the addition of new parking payment kiosks. Also cited as a favorite among the public is the elimination of paid parking altogether (Avalon doesn’t charge for parking), but others fear it would result in less “turnover” in the business district, hurting merchants.
THE BEACH BOYS will join Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, and many others at the 2024 Barefoot Country Music Festival in Wildwood. Over 40 artists are expected at the four-day show on the beach, and new artists are being announced regularly. This year’s BCMF will take place on the beach June 20th-23rd, in Wildwood.
