As described by Policemen's Benevolent
Association president Gary
Schflffer, boats would assemble in

than the traditional Great Egg Harbor
Bay stagjing Ana West of theGardeng.
That would ,tgiktf the boat

The Riviera Is the Island's No. 1
trouble spot, according to fiehaffer,
Narthend spots would have to wait
until dark to Me the entire parade,
but those areas aren't as congested
and troublesome as are lagoon-riddled
Riviera neighborhoods, he said.
To facilitate the flow of civilian and
emergency vehicles — which Hi yean
past have been caught in tremendous
traffic snarls — Bay Avenue would
become a one-way street for the
night, allowing Southbound traffic
only. That would create an emergency
traffic lane. Also, prohibiting
parking an one side of either Walnut
or Spruce roads would ease traffic
snafus, Schaffer said.
Grouping larger boats would prevent
the 9th Street drawbridge from
halting vehicular traffic ai often as it
has, he suggests. And with many
larger boats docking in the northend,
a northbound parade would eliminate
the need for many vessels to
retrace their paths after the procession.
The Idea has yet to be discussed
with Qty Council, Coast Guard,
Marine Police or Nipt in Venice
