STONE HARBOR – Two different ways to deal with the parking problems that the borough ran into last year got strong support from the council at its Feb. 6 meeting. One was to do away with paid parking entirely; the other was to do nothing at all.

In 2023 the borough suffered negative publicity that reached even national press outlets when its switch to a smartphone app as the sole way to pay for parking backfired, causing a soaring number of tickets issued to residents and visitors. The council has since been considering how to avoid a repeat of the problem.
