The price for a seasonal parking permit in Sea Isle is going up by $100. The City Council set the new price for a seasonal permit at $350, up from $250, at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 9. Sea Isle charges for parking from May 15 to Labor Day. According to the Cape May County Herald, the ordinance setting the fee originally called for a $200 hike, but following a public hearing in which several residents strongly opposed the new price, the council lowered the increase to $100. The ordinance says that the city will have a limit of 450 seasonal parking permits available this year; they are available on a first-come basis. City officials maintained that an increase in the fee was necessary to keep the permit parking program viable.
