Tour operators urge borough to pause Policy 5,100 and avoid permanent park closures

An unnamed resident speaking on behalf of local tour operators urged the borough to reconsider elements of Policy 5,100 that the speaker said would effectively eliminate guided‑tour access to borough parks and could lead to permanent closures in 2027. The speaker pressed the assembly to allow an 180‑day vetting process and asked the body to rescind aspects of the policy that they say unfairly penalize tourism operators.
