“We want people to come enjoy some food, enjoy some beer,” Kelly said Sunday. “We hear it’s going to be busy.”

Not all nearby businesses shared those views.

Santori’s Produce set up a tent in its parking lot selling fruit, trail mix and other prepackaged healthy snacks during last summer’s three-day festival. But foot traffic was directed to the opposite side of the street and “nothing really materialized” in the way of extra business, owner Gino Santori said Sunday.

“We're not planning on setting anything up because (of that) … and there was so much more publicity for the DMB concert than the Phish concert,” Santori said. “There was a lot of hype.”

Parking posed a problem for some Chelsea Heights residents, particularly on Trenton Avenue, where entire blocks feature properties without driveways. Danene Albertson said she and her neighbors asked the city government to restrict parking, particularly along Trenton Avenue, during last summer’s concert to no avail, so they didn’t bother this time around.

Instead, the prospect of the inconvenience prompted the 15-year resident to take time off from her job as a dispatcher for the South Jersey Transportation Authority.
