Question:
Dear Mayor Coles,
Most of Oak Street was repaved within the last year. However, the worst part of the street, between Albert and New Hampshire was not repaved.
This stretch of road is terrible. Please let me know when it will be repaved.
Thank you,
Avi
Response from Mayor Coles:
Hi Avi,
We were hoping to complete the paving this year, but the project was expanded to include some additional sidewalks and we could not get the plans finalized in time. It will be scheduled for one of the first paving jobs early next year.

Dear Mr. mayor
Usually a company that does asphalt is not the same company that does sidewalks, why would the sidewalk project affect the scheduled paving ?
Last night that road was closed by the Lakewood Police Dept. due to extremely deep cavities all over the road.
Who will pay for all the flat tires until next year?
And can we pay this year taxes next year as well?
Next year, as in January 2019 or November 2019??
Thank you Mr Mayor for the great job. When is Vine street going to be opening between Pine Street and Cedarbridge Ave?
Thank you Mayor Coles, this paving project is long overdue. One of the problems with Oak Street is that a lot of very large tractor trailers and other large commercial vehicles use Oak Street as a cut through to New Hampshire Avenue. There is a sign that reads 4 ton limit, but it is ignored. I believe these large commercial vehicles create and add to the damage on Oak Street.
Thank you again Mayor Coles
I see them repairing sidewalks in front of homes, shouldn’t the homeowners have to repair their side walks? why is the town ship in many instances re doing peoples sidewalks, including last year when they did over all of 7th streets side walks?? any one have a clue??
To add to what the letter writer said, that stretch of oak was bad but a few days ago it went from bad to terrible. It seems that all of a sudden, maybe after the rain, huge jagged potholes opened up, its impossible to drive straight on threat block.
It needs at least some temporary solution asap
Wasn’t Williams St supposed to get paved this past summer?
The potholes are getting deeper and deeper….
Williams is patched up every year! maybe they are using the wrong stuff, doesn’t anyone look into the quality and grade of black top?
we also need better street signs in this town! all you see is a bluish box, but you cant read the names at night, why must we use the cheapest reflective grade? the white name of the street needs also to be reflective! this should be a law that all developers spent a extra 3$ a sign so we can read them at night and don’t have to get out of our cars with a flash light!
