Council to trial signage to curb nonresident beach parking at town lots
Summary
Council members flagged increased use of Town Hall, Community Center, and tennis-court lots for beach access and opted to try signage before pursuing permits or sticker systems; members also discussed QR-code verification and stickers used in neighboring Beverly Shores.
President Joy Schmitt reported an increase in people using town parking lots at the tennis courts, Town Hall, and the Community Center to access the beach, and council members described cars taking residents' extra parking spaces. Options discussed included a QR-code check-in system, windshield parking stickers like Beverly Shores, or signage restricting beach parking.
Chief Swistek suggested observing the situation further before adopting a formal permit system; the council agreed to post a sign on the tennis court fence stating that no beach parking is allowed, then revisit the issue if the signage does not reduce unauthorized parking.
