Re:
The quality of Wesley Lake is important to the home sales in OG. The lake and the lake houses are what potential buyers see when visiting upscale Cookman Ave. But if they see a sewer, while all of the OG beachfront is full of replenishment, how does this help the town’s image?
We have two beautiful bridges on Wesley Lake, one of the more photographed and publicized water resources in Neptune. But it keeps getting swept under the rug in favor of funds for the ocean waterfront. It seems very short-sighted to me. The crumbling walls, the rusted retainers, the chocolate color, the garbage. It is crazy that the ocean and boardwalk get 100 percent attention and our lake gets maybe 1 percent. Nuts.
