Monmouth County Studies CR520
Monmouth County hired the transportation engineering firm
Orth-Rodgers to conduct a traffic study of Newman Springs
Road (CR 520) and the results of this study were published
in March of 2002 in the "County Route 520 - Newman Springs
Road - Corridor Study." Links for the unabridged study
are located at the bottom of this page.
LVGA Summary of the Monmouth County Study.
The Lincroft Village Green Association has prepared a summary
of the Orth-Rodgers long-term recommendations for CR 520 as
presented in the "County Route 520 - Newman Springs Road
- Corridor Study." LVGA observations and comments for
each recommendation are also included. Read the LVGA summary
here.
Monmouth County Presents its Recommendations to
the Public.
Mr. Theodore Giannechini, County Engineer,
presented the study to the public on June 18, 2002, at a public
meeting at Brookdale Community College. Public comments were
solicited both verbally at the meeting and in written form
to the Office of the County Engineer within a period of 2
months. The LVGA presented a petition to the County Engineer
at the June 18th presentation. The petition was signed by
over 2000 people and read "We, the undersigned, support
efforts to slow vehicular traffic in the Lincroft Village
along County Routes 520 (Newman Springs Road) and 50 (Middletown-Lincroft
Road). We oppose widening these streets; and we want safe
pedestrian access along and across these streets."
The LVGA Conducts a Public Meeting to Present Proposals.
Prior to writing a response to the county's recommendations,
the LVGA presented its proposals to the public in a presentation
at Brookdale Community College on August 13, 2002. A survey
was conducted at the LVGA presentation. The public overwhelming
supported the recommendations made by the LVGA. The survery
and the results of the survey can be viewed at survey
and results.
The Lincroft Village Green Association submitted a written
response in a letter,
dated August 16, 2002. The LVGA also submitted a comprehensive
list of recommendations
to the county. These documents can be viewed at letter and
list.
The LVGA Hires a Consultant.
These recommendations were the result of three years of LVGA
discussions, input from the community, as well as the input
of Mr. Charles Carmalt, a traffic planner. The LVGA was able
to hire Mr. Carmalt, thanks to the generosity of Lincroft
residents. Mr. Carmalt's recommendations regarding CR 520
can be viewed here.
