RED BANK: BIZ ALLIANCE SETS PARKING FORUM

One of two anticipated public forums on issues related to parking in downtown Red Bank now has a date and location.

The Red Bank Business Alliance has scheduled its forum for Thursday, July 13 at the Red Bank Middle School. Here’s a detailed agenda, covering various aspects of what should be done with the borough-owned 2.3-acre parking lot on White Street: BBA PARKING FORUM AGENDA II,rev

The objective is “public discourse,” RBBA member Mike Simpson, an architect, said in a statement to redbankgreen. “We intend to pose questions and see how the group might individually and collectively respond to the subjects that seem recurrent to us, related to this very important matter for Red Bank’s future.”

Meantime, the borough council’s parking committee is also planning to hold a public comment session on plans for redeveloping the site submitted by five builders. Councilman Mike Whelan, who chairs the committee, said a date for the event will be announced shortly. (Click to enlarge.)
