At very least, the city should do a survey of it's street lighting and find out what's working, and what's not. The block on Bergh where the carjacking took place has non-working lights, and several of us have called JCPL, but so far, they remain out.
On the other hand, this weekend I saw foot patrols in my neighborhood, and an increased amount of unmarked cars everywhere. Sometimes I wish we could just have a huge town hall meeting and bring as much of AP together as possible. While we all live in different geographical parts of the city, we are ALL residents and it would be beautiful if as a whole this city could stand up for itself and be much more neighborly. I know that sounds very "rose colored glasses", but what stops a community from doing such a thing? People come together after a disaster, why not before one happens? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "2fast4u" <sharon_b283@...> wrote: > > I live in the real world.
