Paid parking app causes confusion for residents in North Topsail Beach
NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, NC (WWAY) — Many people have voiced frustrations about paid parking at North Topsail Beach, but beyond that, many say they’re also confused as to how it all works.
“So I just went onto the SurfCast website and downloaded the thing,” said Marcy Arbuckle Monday on her trip to the beach. “It was real simple, real fast.”
For Arbuckle, with an iPhone, the process was easy, and she says she downloaded the app ahead of time when she had service.
“If they’ve got a good connection, it’s very, very easy,” said President of Otto Connection Inc. Jim Varner. “It just takes a few seconds.”
Varner, who helped create the payment system, says downloading the app when you have cell service is key to having success with it.
