The year-round residents of SIC and Avalon are being required to

Sea Isle City - The year-round residents of SIC and Avalon are being required to cover the cost of the installation of an E-Z Pass system on the T.I. bridge. The toll will be increased to a max of $2.50 (seasonal). The system is to speed the tourist traffic across the bridge. When the season is over, the locals are still required to pay the increase. Those who planned this mistake have no regard for the permanent residents. Once again, locals get abused by a system designed to favor making life easier for the tourists with no regard for how locals are affected.
