there are and were no trees on the property and the property will not be covered by asphalt read the master plan

I don't need to read the master plan. I drive by it every day Bobby.

Condos definitely would not have been better. The report which touted this as a great place mentions the preservation of the waterfront. It has no mention of a spray park nor does it even use the word park, especially in the context of playground.

Nan, No spray park means no public bathrooms!

Lori, the people who were doing the spray park are NOT the ones who were doing the maintance/ banquet hall building and public restroom. If you red the other article, the company who is getting 3 million are the ones doing that, at least that is what i understood the article to say.

Me, I was under the impression that what you stated was the plan. If you look at the postings from Scott Pezarras on "Traders Cove Contract Signed" it states that the banquet hall is not part of this phase, and the maintance bldg will have the bathrooms for employees. The spray park will have the pumping station to be used for public bathrooms. No spray park, no public bathrooms.

if you only knew about Newark you would not say that born and raised in Newark and now live in toms river and never had my car broken into till i moved here

Where is that located at?

I think they could have decent success with the marina. I know for me personally, I don't need a "full service" marina for my 19-footer, and at least in northern Ocean County, most of the marinas seem to be catering to the large boats and all of the services they require. There's a shortage of non-full-service marinas at a fair price.

And as a guy who's out on the bay on a daily basis from April-December, I'd have to disagree on the volume of boats out on the water. Whenever I fish at Barnegat Inlet it's practically "bumper boats" from all the traffic.

Dan, do you know how they arrived at the prices for the slips? They hd someone call all the marinas in Brick and asked what their prices were, and then undercut them all. Talk about being nonbusiness friendly. (I have a friend who owns a marina and told me this info)

Dan, the Breton Woods property owners' marina slip rentals were down significantly this year. Typically it is almost completely rented. It is not a full service marina. Nonmembers can even rent a space if they join as an associate. The rates are cheaper than going to a commercial marina. I thought in a down economy it would be completely full.
I live on the Metedeconk River and look at buoy #6. The boat traffic has been down significantly in the past few years. On the weekends it does pick up, but nothing like it was in the past. The river used to bumper to bumper. The number of jet skiers is even down.

I’m glad boat traffic is busy in your area. That is good news for the marina business.

I live in Brick too. But my boating is generally done in southern Ocean (although I'm thinking of buying a smaller, trailer-able boat to use around here now that I bought a 4WD SUV).

Me -- As I'm an avid shopper when it comes to this stuff, I can tell you that many marinas right here in Brick had to slash their own prices the past coupe of seasons. They were pricing themselves out of business because (for some reason) the slip rates got out of control over the last five years. A slip that was going for $2300 here in Brick was going for $1300 in Bayville or Forked River, a 15 minute trip down the Parkway. Many a Brick resident docked his boat out of town because of the price difference. That's a fact.

The mayor has said the prices at Traders will go up once the project is complete, but I'm not sure if the prices there are a function of "undercutting" anyone, so much as they are the result of the fact that slip prices in Brick (from my own, personal shopping around) were significantly higher than seemingly everywhere else in Ocean County, and now even the private marinas are shifting their prices, too.

well maybe the park should only be foe people from brick and you need a tag to get in

i agree marinas have been to high and think we will not shop around. 75 to 100 a foot they are crazy go to Silver Bay North Marina $65 a fott not the best looking but it keeps boat in the water

Who thinks New York City is a safest place? Well just as Brick is considered safest for its size category so is NYC safest.
Many years ago as the Lone Republican our current Mayor explains the designation safest does not mean no crime it is derived from solve rates.

Too funny. One thing though, the fine folks from Lakewood are Hassidum not orthodox. There is a difference. But still funny!
