I think the design is good and the buildings show some character. I am also quite surprise how much has been done since I recall reading not too long ago that the work had stopped. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allan, Certainly you can have your opinion, but what is it worth, what is it based upon? A personal like or dislike of something is irrelevent in the context of a discussion of redevelopment. For example, while you may 'like' the design of Wesley Grove it, in fact, violates the very plan that was adopted and promised to the public. The block face of Cookman was supposd to display at least 2 different architectural styles. There were to be pedestrian and view corridors through the block to Wesley Lake. The architcture and monotony of the townhouse side is an insult to the existing National Historic District. When weighed against the anticipated development 'sold' to the public, Wesley Grove is a failure and not in the best interests of Asbury Park. That is the conclusion one would find if knowledgable of the facts. Regarding the pace of construction, it is extremely slow. Werner Yahoo!
