OCEAN CITY — While efforts to tweak the resort’s multi-million-dollar parking system continue, it is becoming apparent Ocean City is leaning toward a single entity or individual as a parking authority.
In the interest of taking a broad look at Ocean City’s complicated municipal parking system including a potential expansion of paid parking in certain areas, Mayor Rick Meehan earlier this year appointed a task force at the request of the council. The task force, directed by noted parking consultant Dan Kupferman along with City Engineer Terry McGean, has met three times over the last several weeks.
In the meantime, there appears to be support for creating a separate department, or perhaps a smaller department within an existing one, to act as a parking authority for the town. Ocean City’s current municipal parking system is complicated to be sure with paid on-street parking in certain downtown areas, paid municipal lots throughout town and, of course, the Inlet lot, which is somewhat an entity all its own.

It's not complicated ONE BIT. If the council members and other OC officials can't figure out parking then they need to get the hell out of their positions and let someone with some brains and common sense do the job.
O.C.is 5 Mile's wide and a 10 mile long Island
No matter how many Bay Bridges Hogan builds
...
you can only fit so many cars on the small Ocean City Island
Title should read "Police State heightens in OC as government seeks more control and revenue". I grew up in OC.. It's a despicable place that is over policed and I look forward to the day that a wave wipes it off of the map. Wanna experience what Nazi Germany was like? Go to OC! 100s of hidden cameras (in trash cans even), license plate scanners and much more!
Don't mind the officers who will beat you up and slam you while in handcuffs for skating on the boards. Or the ones who will say that you have drugs in your car when you know that is absolutely false. Let us not forget the times they would "Freddie gray" us as teens in the back of paddy wagons. Excellerating the gas and slamming the breaks to make us slide around in the back. Yes this all happened to me before the age of 23. Bet most if you're reading this would never expected that this what's going on in the late 90s and early 2000s in Ocean City?
I thank the oc police for the brutality, the corruption, the lies, the harassment and abuse that I experienced from them as it helped make me a man who understands the true nature of reality. The true nature of the beast. The prison industrial complex, classism and the good ol' boy system.
