Illegal Development Threatens one of the Last Open Spaces on the NJ Coast – Keep the North Beach of Asbury Park a Beach!
The Jersey Shore Chapter is working with other environmental and historic preservation groups to stop the development of the North End Beach of Asbury Park, NJ.
The north end beach of Asbury Park is threatened by development that will:
- Decrease Public Access to the beach
- Reduce the size of the gravel parking lot used by anglers & surfers
- Build in front of Asbury Towers, partially on Green Acres Land
- Build on Ocean Avenue
- Build in a V-Zone (wave velocity) against State CAFRA rules
Asbury Park has a long tradition of keeping everything east of Ocean Ave as public space. Preserving this land as public space and improving it would be much better than the 15 luxury townhomes proposed.
5 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO STOP THIS DEVELOPMENT AND CREATE AN OCEANFRONT PARK:
- Sign the petition against oceanfront development and in support of an oceanfront park.
- Call, e-mail or send a letter to the Asbury Park City Council and Asbury Park’s City Manager.
- Write a letter to the editor of you local paper (APP & The Coaster).
- Show up at the Asbury Park City Council meetings to voice your concerns.
- Contact the Jersey Shore Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation to help with this campaign!
