“While we are on the subject of gridlock, is the plan Asbury has to put an island down the center of Main Street to convert it to a single traffic lane gaining traction?

From “Taxes Without Representation.”

Editor’s Note:    From the Coaster   Oct, 2017:

“Asbury Park’s Main Street is still scheduled to be reduced to two lanes but not for at least 18 months.

“The city and the New Jersey Department of Transportation came to an agreement several months ago to reconfigure the street into one lane in each direction with a center turning lane when the street is repaved next year.”
