Acme
Road improvements:
The CR520 entrance to the Lincroft Grove shopping center,
home of a professional building, Luigis and other stores,
is known for problems with motorists making left turns into
and out of the driveways. We are happy to inform you
that the County and Township have agreed to move forward on
plans to improve the access road from Middletown-Lincroft
Road to the Lincroft Acme.
Current Acme Road conditions:
-
One way exit that ends in a right turn only onto Middletown-Lincroft
Road.
-
Not accessable by the Lincroft Grove patrons.
The proposed improvements to the Acme road include
-
Widening the road to two lanes
-
Making the road 2-way
-
Allowing all turns, both into and out of the road from
both directions at its junction with Middletown-Lincroft
Road.
-
The property owners between the Acme and Middletown-Lincroft
Road, including those at the Lincroft Grove and the bank
at the corner, would be permitted to extend their driveways
to utilize the new road.
-
Safety measures to reduce speeding and promote pedestrian
access along the newly widened Acme road include building
a sidewalk to the north of the road, installing speed
bumps or stop signs and painting crosswalks.
The Town would basically acquire the road from its current
owner (the Acme) and would then make it a municipal road. The
LVGA and Lincroft Task Force committees have been advocating
for this improvement for many years. Having a second
entrance/exit point for the Lincroft Grove should drastically
reduce the number of dangerous left turns that are now being
made to access those parking lots. Middletown Township
is now looking into ways to fund these improvements.
