With the northbound lanes of Route 35 through Lavallette’s business district now repaved and striped for parking spaces, borough officials are fuming about how the spaces were laid out.<\/p>\n

The borough is now short 50 spaces along the highway compared to the layout before the project took place, Borough Administrator Christopher Parlow said recently.<\/p>\n

Mayor Walter LaCicero recently had a meeting with state Department of Transportation representatives over the matter which “did not go well,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Their response was, ‘Oops, sorry, wasn’t on purpose,'” said LaCicero, adding that blame for the reduction in spaces was placed on the engineering contractor hired by the state.<\/p>\n

Apparently, according to borough officials, some spaces were removed because they were deemed too close to crosswalks or wheelchair-accessible sidewalk ramps. Technically, a 25 foot buffer is required, but in some areas there was only a one-foot \u2013 or less \u2013 deficit. The buffer zone is measured from either a crosswalk or the “perceived crosswalk.”<\/p>\n

“There were\u00a0a couple issues where the spots were a couple inches short of being legal, so they didn\u2019t put anything in there,” said LaCicero, who took the state agency to task for what he perceived to be a lack of concern.<\/p>\n

“They don\u2019t care what impact it\u2019s had on us,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re not going to let this go,” he said. “We can\u2019t just sit back and take a reduction of 50 parking spaces for the business community.”<\/p>\n
