Question:
Dear Mr. Mayor.
Thank you for being an excellent mayor for our town & for being so reachable!
Would you have a timetable for when Prospect will be repaved?
It seems that the construction is finally over & we are left with such a rough ride from Route 9 all the way to Cross.
Thank you very much!
Yehuda
Response from Mayor Coles:
Thanks for reaching out. When utility work is done, the areas filled need to settle for several months so that once the final paving is done, the road does not settle and crack. Our engineer is contacting the contractor to ask them to do the final paving as soon as possible
Take Care
Ray

For me it’s been about 50/50, the ones Not answered were following up about promises made years prior in previous answers.
The construction is NOT over. The widening and adding lanes at the intersection of Prospect and Massachusetts are not complete.
The contractors for that project went bankrupt, and it will be a while until Ocean County can recoup the money and reassign a contractor to finish the job.
No paving will be done until the entire project is completed, whenever that is.
please please make this a priority! Prospect street is a disaster
thanks
Like many other parts of this town. Just came from west gate which was built many years ago and has been a danger-zone for years. The ppl in charge now were in charge then and either they haven’t learned or they don’t care. Its either the blame game or denial. Lets keep the same people in office.
Of course keep them in charge. They like the Vaad, And the Vaad likes them.
