1. Not much has been done for the past couple of weeks on the Broadway storm drainage project, and the natives are getting restless. Township officials say the delay has to do with unmarked utility pipes discovered underground, and that we’re waiting for New Jersey Natural Gas to relocate some of that stuff. The contractor is also awaiting delivery of some pieces of pipe for the storm drains, in order to avoid additional conflicts with what’s been found underground. Meanwhile, the Township engineer says the contractor will be working on the outfall at the Fletcher Lake bulkhead on or about May 21. Prior to that, we are told, they’ll be stabilizing an existing trench and cleaning up the site this week.
2. About a week ago we told you the Township had declared Park View Inn owner Marshall Koplitz in default of his court agreement. (Go here for details. ) Well, the head of code and construction, Bill Doolittle, told Blogfinger on Monday that Koplitz is back in compliance. He is under a court order to follow a set of specific steps aimed at rehabbing the nuisance property at 23 Seaview Avenue. He was declared in default of that agreement as of April 30 for having failed to submit architectural plans to the Township. Doolittle said Koplitz has now submitted those plans and is again on schedule.
Are they going to build condos on the island on Broadway? Present it to the township they’ll approve it, and no parking.
10 days to Memorial Day..and what a disgrace on Broadway..one of the gateways into OG..and a nightmare for the occupants..shame!
Spin Dancer: No, they are going to leave gravel trenches on the north shoulder… Of course they are going to resurface
But you could have known that if you reviewed the construction plan
There are some strange similarities concerning the Broadway drainage project and Koplitz’s Park View project. Problem after problem, delay after delay. Bad omens?
LOL
Why does it always take court orders to bring Koplitz into ‘compliance’? Just more delaying tactics and he probably had all those penalties waived. Sigh.
The plan is to repave all of Broadway — both north and south sides.
Sometimes I think that Koplitz and Neptune are holding hands – this dance is such spin. Also, They BETTER repave all of Broadway after this project is completed.
koplitz back in compliance…what a joke…he is the master of the shill game
