Last Saturday we had our second “Saturday in the Park Summer Concert Series”; and  the Moroccan Sheepherders were fantastic!!  The weather was perfect.  I have never seen Riley Park so crowded.  Afterward- our restaurants filled up with concert goers- it’s working- we are “upping” our support to Main Street!!

Infrastructure project: The Biase Center roof replacement

We had a few inches of rain in the downpour Tuesday night- AND THE ROOF at the MUNICIPAL BUILDING and the BIASE CENTER DID NOT LEAK- SUCCESS.  Although the jobs are not 100% complete, I think we can declare victory!

The roof was completely replaced.  We are focused on getting the mold remediation effort going.  This was necessary and long overdue! 

We will then move the Community Development (Zoning/ Code, etc.) and Meals on Wheels back into the building; and groups like the Seniors, Arts Council, and committees/ commissions will have access to the facility.

Fletcher Lake.  Our partners, Neptune Township (specifically Ocean Grove) started a project to repair the northeast bulkhead portion of Fletcher Lake.  Work began 4 weeks ago with good progress.  This is a key project in terms of the safety and stability of the bulkhead and contributes to our continued improvements to Fletcher Lake.  Thank you to the Neptune and the Fletcher Lake Team for advocating for this important project!

This should complement the restaurant experience in Bradley Beach.

Restaurants have become a defining characteristic of our community.

A few other quick topics to highlight:

Tuesday is a big night for Bradley Beach and other towns across the country- it’s NATIONAL NIGHT OUT- a community celebration that will not disappoint.  Our Police TEAM does a great job and will have booths, prizes, raffles- and free food!!!! 

Sergeant Josephine Celauro is the lead on this important event- thanks so much!

Please join us for a fun activity on the Promenade—you won’t be disappointed!

Those residents that had grass repaired by the borough due to the sewer, curb, and street corner repairs.  P L E A S E water the areas so that they get established- THANKS!

Our Beach is one of our key assets in which we are the stewards.  There is a mutual dependency with our Tourism in Bradley Beach and our beach.  Our Lifeguards, First Aid, and Police all do a great job in managing the beach.  There has to be, however, a respect for the power and sometimes danger of the Atlantic Ocean.   I urge everyone to promote water safety.  Please swim when lifeguards are on duty!

We will continue to focus on Service and Progress as a Municipal Team.

That’s all for now!

We have a lot to be thankful for here in Bradley Beach, and much to celebrate.  

Thank you- and see you around town!

Mayor Larry Fox
