Twp of Brick, NJ

I have created this site with hope that it will do some good.

I have grown up around the shore area for most of my life and
watched many changes take place over the years.
For the most part it was for the good.

Lately though I have been extremely disappointed in little or no action taken by the residents/business owners of Brick who have fallen victim to the vandals who choose to vandalize the properties within the township, or fail to keep up their properties in general. Not one person should need to wait for someone to make a complaint to bring it to their attention.

I drive in Brick everyday and as time goes on, I see the deterioration starting to set in. 10 or 15 years from now I do not want to see Brick in the condition of some of NJ's worst cities are in today. There are properties that have graffiti on them in plain site, and I feel it is long over due for putting these people on notice to have it cleaned up.

The warm weather is finally here and no better time to get this township back where it should be.

So here is what I decided to do.

Just in my normal everyday travels, if something catches my eye that degrades the image of Brick, I have decided to get an image of it.

These images will be posted here, and as I see the properties getting cleaned up, I will remove the image from the site. I hope to one day have nothing but nice photos of Brick displayed here.

For the sake of Brick and its residents, I sure hope this works.

Being the number one Safest City in America is nice, but is it asking too much to have it Clean too?

P.S.

Thank you.

Update from Shore Shotz 3/16/2011

It's been a while since I have updated this Blog but that doesn't mean I haven't been keeping an eye on Brick.

It seems maybe someone liked this idea so much that they took it to a whole new level.
I am not sure if they knew of my Blog or it was just coincidental but the website these people put together 6 months after I started my Blog makes it far more easier for everyday citizens to make a complaint to the town and the issues they are facing.

You must visit: http://www.seeclickfix.com/brick-new-jersey/issues/recent

This site also covers all across the country.

Congrats to them on a job well done with their website.

That doesn't mean I will stop posting images. I still feel that gets a lot of attention and the issues corrected.

Well, at least most of the time.

I did a drive by of some the areas I sent complaints in about and unfortunately there are a few still pending after all this time... UGGH !!!

Time to submit them again !

Signage on Cornell Dr

Originally posted 5/27/08
Unfortunately this sign was missed by the crew that had replaced the signage at the rotory on the corner of Cornell Dr and Bryn Mawr Dr.
This particular sign is located on Cornell Dr between ELI Place and Bryn Mawr Dr.

Still nothing done about this signage !

Corner of Church Rd & Mantoloking Rd: Light Boxes

No Photo, but the Twp clearly will not miss the mess on the Traffic Light Switch Boxes.

Hope they get the DOT to repaint it soon !

Signage on Bryn Mawr Go Clockwise ???

Perhaps I shouldn't put this one in for replacement being as my vehicle has a difficult time making it around these islands and it is so much easier to go clockwise when wanting to make a left turn onto Cornell from Bryn Mawr...

Boston Chicken Brick Blvd Power Transformer

This Power Transformer has been like this for some time now.

I also noticed the Strip Mall's rear wall was tagged recently, but I would like to thank the people responsible for removing it so quickly. So quick, it didn't even need to be reported by me. :)

Now let's get the Transformer cleaned up !
