Following discussions on how alleviate the negative impacts of motorcycle- and car-carrying trailers that block traffic on downtown streets or take up space in municipal lots, the commission endorsed the Ocean City Police Department’s recommended changes to the resort’s parking regulations.
Updates to the ordinance include jacking up the fine for violators from $30 to $250.
“The existing ordinance says that with very few exceptions that fines cannot exceed $30. There was talk at [earlier] police commission meetings that this should be a hefty fine for this violation,” said Capt. Kevin Kirstein.

Wow, the silly council working on any way to make money, or run the visitors off
Sure, piss off those who come here to spend money.
I am a city employee and will not be able to park my truck to go to work.
Full size f350 with cooler rack on the front 22' long.
8:08PM, then may I suggest that you tell them, from now on, you'll telecommute. :)
Yep, sounds like someone is trying to gin up more revenue for Ocean City at the tourists' expense, even though the tourists are what is money maker for an otherwise silly little tourist trap.
The real money in OC does not benefit from the street gangs that show up and wreak havoc under the banner of tourists. Hence the restrictions.
Ocean City was a fun place once upon a time

You are joking, right? Just how many "class" eating establishments can you name on the boardwalk or downtown for that matter? You either head north or west OC. The participants bring the show. The spectators bring the beer guzzling audience. There are condo owners in OC that may bitch about lean parking areas but it's events like this that bring the tourists. The Air Show for example overwhelms the OC infrastructure with tourists but there is only one even like that except maybe fireworks for July 4th. Springiest and Sunfest are simply Chinese made flea markets for the elderly. Octoberfest, boat show, and condo shows are a joke. So, as a town, ease up on all the participants and visitors on 2 of the most popular events in the town. All the laws to keep things calm are already in place. Just put more officers out there to enforce them.
Just what do you define as "real money"?
8:08 Got a Trump bumper sticker on that there truck? How many more payments left? My bad, you gots plenty of extra money now that gas is half off compared to when Bush was in office.
10:56
Gas was about $1.90 when Bush left office. Try again bozo!
And Obama has nothing to do with the gas prices. In case you haven't noticed the economy is in the shi##er.
WALMART is closing 150 stores because of your KING OBAMA>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 10:56....you Moron.
The closing of that many Walmarts is going to put a lot of people out of work. After all, you can't shoplift at Amazon.
o.c. town leaders, just say it. we do not need the car and bike shows in our town anymore.
