REPLACEMENT OF THE TOWNSEND’S INLET BRIDGE will be studied by Cape May County. A three-month closure for emergency repairs just prior to the summer season brought the bridge’s condition to the attention of local officials, as well as residents, visitors, and business owners who rely on the bridge daily. But the estimated cost of replacing the bridge—many tens of millions of dollars—and a permitting process that could take years, are roadblocks. The Cape May County Bridge Commission operates the span, which links Avalon and Sea Isle City, but has said it does not have the funds for a replacement project, so funding from state and federal sources would be sought. The study approved by the commission would also evaluate the possibility of rehabilitating the existing bridge. The bridge dates back to the 1930s and has recently undergone many repair projects. A $2.7 million project to replace the bridge railings was recently announced and is scheduled to begin soon.
TENTS AND “BEACHSPREADING” were discussed at Stone Harbor’s recent Borough Council meeting. As portable tents become more common, families have used them to block the sun and wind—and the views of those behind them. Council has decided not to ban tents at this time, and will monitor the situation in 2018.
