Create "another" asbury. Maybe even smaller is better....
Look at tht town of Lake Como. Would AP be better (I know the answer) if it were divided in two? One approach would be the "East AP" and "West AP" but of course people MIGHT consider that a racial boundry. OR North Asbury and South Asbury, using 2nd Ave as the boundry (using Asbury Ave would make it a racial boundry). "East Asbury would include the raiload tracks" West Asbury would be Memorial, giving West AP their own "main street" to develop. East Asbury's focus is kid free, to go along with the boardwalk where aboput 11 "new" or renovated places for alcohol were created while one was completed for kids (mini g) and one in development (water park) Maybe west AP could get more money from the state to redo that side of town and all the focus will be on west ap. Good ratables to start with and maybe start up with shared services from neighboring towns like neptune and Ocean twp. Ocean twp is renting out it's court room now to west long branch etc. West AP coould be the first muni to kick off a "new" era in managed muni government. Minimal admininstration. East asbury can continue their focus and get rid of the headaches. West AP can begin anew and focus on Springwood and Asbury Ave and their new main street..... and their own budget west asbury (or the town of south deal lake) and would still be a very diversified town. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
