NORTH WILDWOOD – Car lifts will not be allowed in North Wildwood, per a “peace and good order” ordinance that passed second reading at a March 15 City Council meeting.
Jennifer VanSant, deputy city clerk, said that car lifts have been increasingly popular in cities and that North Wildwood does not want to see them there.
Car lifts are often used in dense urban areas or on small residential lots where there is no room for two automobiles. They allow a car to park above another where it would otherwise not fit.
VanSant said that car lifts are not currently present anywhere in North Wildwood. The ordinance hopes to ban them before they have a chance to become a problem.
