Atlantic City Electric tells Ventnor to remove all banners attached to the boardwalk poles owned by Atlantic City Electric.
Atlantic City Electric claims the banners are advertisements. The City of Ventnor disagrees, saying the stylish banners (featuring simple business pitch or logo) are simply ‘sponsorships’.
LISTEN.
According to Ventnor City Ads contract terms and conditions: The City of Ventnor solicited advertising to be placed on City of Ventnor property including boardwalk pole banners and other advertising signage on the Ventnor City boardwalk and in other City locations.
NOTE: City says they’d like to install much-needed, security cameras on those boardwalk light poles.
Blue Beach Mat Litigation in Ventnor.
Strange but true. The City of Ventnor being sued by someone who slipped on a sandy, blue beach mat. City of Ventnor will re-evaluate use of the popular, blue beach mats. (listen to audio above)
Sack o Subs Rebuild or Rehab?
Ventnor Code Official suggests insurance company would prefer Sack o Subs rehab, not rebuild, their smoke and water damaged sub-shop on Ventnor Ave.
Sack o Subs property was adjacent to fire that broke out last week, destroying the former MANGOS property.
How can we get all political signs & flags outlawed on the beach? They are more annoying than the banners on the light poles.
Agree! Just come to the beach to relax not promote political statements…we have enough stress surrounding us already!!!
Ventnor needs more beach mats and should not consider removing them because someone slipped on one. The mats help people who have trouble walking enjoy the beach, which is really the whole point of spending time in Ventnor during the season after all.
I get that they need to be maintained and cleaned frequently, and that surely costs money. But come on; this is a beach town.
How about making the beach more accessible to the elderly and disabled, not less? The city arguably drives more revenue by attracting more people to its beaches.
Elderly and disabled people have money to spend.
The blue mat is really a must have for all beaches, especially in Ventnor where there are not handicap beaches at least not towards the end of the boardwalk. The mat would help seniors and those with disabilities enjoy the beach and be able to get to the water.
I understand that the lifeguards would take those disabled to the beach when you order the truck/jeep but it’s not a regular route for all that can’t make it.
If Ventnor does not put in the mats, someone should start a business and push the cart, set up the umbrella and chairs, Many people would be happy to pay for this. How about if Ventnor wouldn’t pay everyone chip in on their block for a blue mat.
