Police Commission Eyes Cruisin’ Meeting Before Fall Event

OCEAN CITY — Ocean City Police Commission members agreed this week to invite Cruisin’ promoters to meet with them to review the spring and fall events.

Following Cruisin’ weekend in May, Ocean City residents vented on social media their frustrations over massive traffic backups, infrastructure damage to roads caused by the thousands of classic cars in town spinning out and the massive amounts of litter left behind by irresponsible visitors. In fact, one long-time Ocean City resident described the event in a letter to the editor as “broken” and in need of massive changes.

Bob Rothermel, one of the Cruisin’ promoters, took exception to the negatives being hurled by community members at the event, which had 3,300 registered vehicles at the May event.
