I worked extensively as a contractor on the rehab of Asbury Towers. It'd be weird to see Townhomes parked right in front of the tower. Totally jammed in there. You go up to Rhode Island and there's miles of un-developed coastline. NJ has to develop every square inch. #Annoying
Wow that's crazy!!! That's huge! That totally kills the area... That is one of my favorite parts of surfing there- the openness. Many memories... Too bad, I hope it falls thru. Ppl in jersey are just too greedy and don't care about anything else except investing and getting more money to buy bigger houses - only to get bored and want a bigger house- only to find that it's all futile in the end and none of it ever really mattered... Ok rant over
danm redevelopment period. leave it the way it is. and drag those dumpsters out of there. open it up again.
tri city news is the best source to read up on this issue. they have been on top of it. iStar now wants to take over the waste treatment plant right there and move all operations of it to ocean and redevelop that site while giving bradley cove to asbury park. i like this because it saves bradley cove, redevelops an eyesore of a building while brining some life to the north side of the boardwalk, and it will eliminate the outflow pipe there which is the shortest in the state (1600 feet) and potentially bad for water quality in that area since the water in the mixing zone of an outfall pipe is not required to meet state environmental standards (http://www.cleanoceanaction.org/fileadmin/editor_group1/Wastewater/WastewaterCitizensGuide.pdf). in case you were wondering the other short pipes are located at roosevelt, south side of 7 presidents, and cottage road monmouth beach. all less than 2,000 feet.
That beach should be paved, and access to the ocean fenced off with signs reading NO SURFING. A Mall should be built there with very high priced stores. Just what the areas needs!!! I mean, what are rich people supposed to do?? Go surfing??
Here's an idea. Make the ocean front land a big parking lot and turn deal lake into a KSWave pool. That zoo scene would be a money maker and your still keeping it public. But they wil, they will build more half mill boxes for people who won't surf... Asburys been dying for years now and old convention hall is a couple of storms away. The structures are already there. They need money to preserve land and structures that have existed and have remained landmarks if there is to be any developing at all.
carry there fat wallets over to pier village. and leave the doors on that bens unlocked so I can uh paddle out with their stuff.
