Help save Asbury Park’s north end beach by sending Freeholder Burry and the other Freeholders a letter. Take action here.
Recently the Asbury Park City Council sent a letter to Freeholder Lillian Burry asking the County to consider purchasing the Bradley Cove lot as dedicated parkland. Freeholder Burry has made it clear that she and a majority of the Monmouth County Park’s Recreation Commissioners feel it is Asbury Park’s responsibility to order the appraisal to begin this process.

ASBURY PARK — A decade after beachfront master developer Asbury Partners first showed up in the city, a committee of stakeholders have reported to the public their recommendations to amend the city waterfront redevelopment plan. [Read more…]
Over 100 people showed up to the Warterfront Committee meeting Thursday night.
The vast majority of people attending the meeting were in opposition to the Bradley Cove Development and in favor of an oceanfront park.
Tonight the Waterfront Redevelopment Area Plan Advisory Committee came out with its recommended amendments to the Waterfront Redevelopment Area Plan. We are excited that the committee recommended the removal of the “Townhomes at Bradley Cove” and suggested the area be dedicated as open space. The committee and City Council also recommend investigation of funding and partnership opportunities to purchase the development rights for that area. [Read more…]
Proposed Location of the Bradley Cove Townhomes
Does this look like a good place to build townhomes?
In the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, it seems clear that building on the east side of Ocean Avenue is insane. And what perfect timing, the Asbury Park Waterfront Redevelopment Committee is looking for your comments on their proposed amendments to the Waterfront Redevelopment Plan. Clearly one amendment should be to remove the Townhomes at Bradley Cove and replace them with a regional oceanfront park.
The Waterfront Committee will be hearing comments on Thursday September 15th at 6 pm at the City Council Chambers in Asbury Park. Here is the WRP Committee Press Release with all the details.
To aid in preparing your comments, the Jersey Shore Chapter has prepared a one page summary Arguement for an Oceanfront Park. All of the information was taken from this website so if you want to dig deeper, please do.
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday September 15th at 6 pm!

ASBURY PARK — The city and its beachfront redeveloper aren’t breaking up.
After some costly counseling of a sort, they’re moving ahead to get new projects on the waterfront, with Asbury Partners holding on to its control but with a court-appointed arbitrator watching who’s doing what.

Now is the time to apply pressure at all levels of government. We must make the phrase, “All politics is local” ring true. [Read more…]
Thank you to the over 50 Surfrider members and concerned residents of Asbury Park who came out to the Council meeting to stand in opposition to development on the north end beach.
