  1. Tonight the Lakewood Planning Board is scheduled to vote on recommending approval of Ordinance 2021-024 to amend to Cedarbridge Redevelopment Plan. The Ordinance refers to Exhibit A which again referw to the 27 page Plan Amendment produced at the request of the Committee by Stearns Associates, LLC in February 2021.

    At page 17 it establishes a parking space requirement for Conference Centers and Banquet Halls of only 1 space per 125 sf or 8/1000. This means that a Wedding Hall of 12,000 will meet the Twp's new parking code with a mere 80 spots!

    And that's not even the only meshugas found in the "Plan Amendment."

    What kind of joke is this?? Which developer is working extra hard behind the scenes to destroy the traffic situation in Lakewood even more?

    1. The plan amendment documents were finally uploaded for public review a few minutes ago. Why were they not available 10 days prior to the vote is the big question??

  2. About 20 minutes away, there is an orchard of apple trees that have blossomed. A real חקל תפוחין.
    It is located in Monmouth Battlefield Park. The parking lot is next to a steep hill. You walk down the hill and over a small bridge. The path will take you left past a corn field (nothing is growing there now). Past those fields you will see rows and rows of short trees, with blossoms on them. They are apple trees.
    Make the Bracha there.

    1. Yes, but not now. They grow later in the year.
      You can go before Rosh Hashana and take pictures of your kids with the unripe apples for your Shana Tova cards.
