Depending on how the numbers look during future budget discussions, Meterless Monday may be a summer-long program for Rehoboth Beach in 2021. This past summer, at the request of downtown businesses struggling to attract customers during the week, the city instituted Meterless Monday, 4 to 10 p.m., for the final eight weeks of the parking meter season. By all reports it was very successful and it’s easy to market, said Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce President Carol Everhart during a special commissioner meeting Dec. 15. From installing pedestrian barriers to instituting outdoor dining rules, commissioners, senior city staff and members of the public have been discussing how the city would respond to COVID-19 for months. Most recently, the discussion turned to business-friendly incentives the city could continue given that COVID-related restrictions are expected to still be in place when tourist season returns this year.
