Wilson Avenue Scheduled For Improvement in 2014

From Middletown Public Information:


Wilson Avenue is the latest township thoroughfare slated to be repaved this year.

The Township Committee approved a contract at their September meeting to improve Wilson Avenue from Cherry Tree Farm Road to Highway 36. This well-traveled road was heavily damaged by the elements this past winter. The contract also includes reconstruction of a section of nearby Maple Street, said Mayor Stephanie C. Murray, noting both streets are scheduled to be completed by year’s end.

Meanwhile Liberty Street, located between Conover Avenue and Church Street in Middletown Village, is currently being reconstructed with new pavement and historic peanut stone curbs. In the Hillside section, the gravel portion of Farview Avenue will be paved, according to Township Engineer Ted Maloney.

Township roads already paved this summer include the second phase of Murphy Road as well as Sunrise Place in River Plaza, Smoke Tree Terrace in Shady Oaks, Irving Place and Edward Street in Belford, Monmouth Avenue and Tan Vat Road in Navesink, Weekhawken Avenue and Hegel Place in North Middletown, Chapel Hill Road from Lombardi Court to Independence Drive, and Pine Street from Hwy 35 to Stephenville Boulevard, he said....

Patrick Short Lead Others in Middletown Flood Plans

If you don't wish to take my word for it on the last post "Lies and Lying Liars who tell Them...", then read the following letter written by Port Monmouth resident Jeanette Wronka, who along with her neighbors have been fighting and complaining about the flooding in their neighborhood for 20 years years.

Mrs Wronka lives on Monmouth ave and has been one of the most effect homeowners in the neighborhood, often on rainy days during high tide the flood water have reached her front yard or worst:

Dear Editor,

A recent letter to you ( Thursday, August 13 ) praising that the "Middletown Flood Plans are Noteworthy" was indeed correct and an understatement after all these years.

However, as a resident on Monmouth Avenue who has participated in Township meetings and meetings with Congressmen Pallone regarding this issue many years ago, and then most recently with the current Committee for several months, I must set the record straight.

It was Committee member Patrick Short who first embraced the idea of a solution to our problem and reached out to the residents of Monmouth/Brainard/ Wilson Avenues of Port Monmouth. His was the first suggestion of the pump station and other possible avenues that he wished to propose to the Committee. He was quickly endorsed by Sean Byrnes of the Committee and then Anthony Fiore. With that support in place, the Mayor and Deputy mayor then joined in support.

Patrick Short's support is what got us where we are today regarding a solution and hopefully it will finally be realized. (my emphasise)

Regards,
Jeanette Wronka
