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!
