[AsburyPark] Re: iraq or ap

2010-12-31 Thread fancypaaantz
Good advice! You can be friends with the city of Asbury Park on facebook, and 
the mayor posts messages. People then have been commenting on the mayor's 
posts- most have been very negative obviously. We live in a country that is not 
Iraq- we can question our leaders. Not all of us have the inclination or the 
time to be local politicians, but if we live here we can say something and we 
can vote. We need to hold our leaders accountable.

  with an action plan before the first flake. And don't treat the residents 
  of AP like they don't matter.
  
 
 
 I will follow my advice. The next time I hear there is going to be 
 significant snow I am getting out of AP and the Shore. I will never be 
 subject to this imcompetence again.

The 1300 block of Monroe was plowed yesterday.  We're totally passable, though 
narrow with the snow banks and parked cars.

Hi - looking at the activity on this board and seems to have dropped off 
considerably over the last year or so - did people defect to some other site or 
just lose interest? Did some Y! searching and can't find another active board.  
Wondering what other AP centric conversation spots there are?

[AsburyPark] Priorities ?

2010-12-31 Thread wernerapnj
From an article on todays Asbury Park Press website (app.com):

...Asbury Park continued Thursday to clear its streets 
to create two-way traffic lanes instead of the single 
lanes opened initially for emergency responses, 
said Brian Grant, director of engineering and public 
works.

Grant said the plan over the weekend would be to 
clear areas around the schools that reopen Monday, 
as well as areas around churches for Sunday.

On Monday, we will focus on some of the main 
corridors, getting them plowed curb-to-curb, he 
said



Notice the last paragraph.
How does one get to the Schools and Churches if the main corridors are not 
addressed first ? Ass-Backwards planning. Can't people stay home and pray and 
the kids have a snow-day ?... until we get transportation routes 
straightened out ?

[AsburyPark] Re: iraq or ap

2010-12-31 Thread oakdorf

  I will never be subject to this imcompetence again.



that's why soon to be old folks like me and you belong in Fl this time of 
year...

Ok. The comparison to Iraq was out there...

AP, like many other towns, STATE and COUNTY roads were and some still are 
screwed up. And I've been from AC up to Newark the past few days.

The uturn ramps weren't cleaned up at all til this am or yesterday pm. 

35 was and still is screwed up in some spots.

The SP copter flew over a few times yesterday.

I had to drive to newark the other night as someone gave me 4 tix to the devil 
game. Mass transit (my first choice) would of been $88 for 4 people round trip 
from Long Branch.

Driving w/parking @ $15 was about $33.

There's a whole issue there. So what happens? Almost everyone going to the Pru 
Center (first time there) drove. I couldn't get off 18 to get ot the parkway 
via hope road - so headed up 18 to the turnpike and it was a smooh ride 
-arrived about the same time the train would of. Just pissed I drove.

Should it cost so much to use mass transit and keep cars off the road?

No train/game package. Go figure.

here's another problem, while no one was prepared (except deal)many residents 
aren't prepared either.

1. Have not one, but two snow shovels. Good chance one may break.

2. Jsut because you live in an apartment and park your in the street doesn't 
mean you don't need a snow shovel.

3. Most of us are really unprepared - as our own cars can't drive in  snow 
(none in this deep snow). If you drive even in a bit of snow - have a shovel, 
gloves and a flashlight in your car. A couple pieces of carpet help as well. 
And if some asshole stops to help you, don't curse him out.

In a city such as AP, maybe a good move would be to utilize the parking garage 
or other public lots as a staging area for homes with no driveways or multi 
family units that don't have sufficent parking - like many are lacking.

Another move if you don't have a driveway - take the car off the street and 
move it up to the lawn as a temporary measure. And when you shovel, thy to 
throw the snow on your yard not the street.

Easy to say I know.

And don't forget - like Bloomy wondered - was it a general work slowdown - 
given all these budget cuts and layoff proposals.

And for companies that made the employees come to work on a state declared 
emergency - nice. Telecommute if you can. Somehow we manage to do it with India.

And finally, kiss a latino.

They were they only ones out shoveling all our store parking lots all hours of 
the night.

[AsburyPark] AP Road Conditions

2010-12-31 Thread asburysteve
I just took a short ride from Asbury Tower to  Rite Aid to get  some cough 
medicine.
 
I should have taken a Dramamine pill first;  the roads were so bumpy,  I 
was getting nauseous
 
I took kingsley to first ave, then first ave to rite aid.
 
barely one lane passable as cars were dbl parked on both sides of the  
street
 
left rite aid, went on to memorial, then down third to grand
 
one lane barely drivable and of course, someone in a suv had to stop and  
p/u someone to make things even worse.
 
I went left onto grand thinking that would be better(ha ha) then right on  
sunsetwhich was all pavement
 
then left on kingsleytill I got to asbury tower.
 
I thought by now that the side roads would have been much better than what  
I saw.
 
all I saw were piles of snow...cars that looked like they would be buried  
all winter.
 
the dbl parking will def not help the plows
 
for a minute, I thought I was back in Brooklyn(yuck)
 
G-d only knows what the west side looks like.
