In response to emails from readers who wish to support the people of Highlands and Sea Bright, I am pleased to promote the Citizens for Rational Coastal Development, the grass roots group that is leading the way to prevent the DOT from ruining the character of these towns.
(link to the CRCD's google group)
Our immediate goal is to keep the Department of Transportation from building the proposed span bridge between Highlands and Sea Bright. We want to see the current bridge restored, or if that is not feasible, replaced with another drawbridge that maintains the special character of the community and enhances the visual effect of the historic Twin Lights. We believe that the proposed span bridge is the first step in building a major highway system through the residential communities of Highlands and Sea Bright. We are not opposed to change, but we encourage thoughtful development that takes into account the concerns of the citizens and preserves the uniqueness of these two Jersey Shore towns.
In this group you will find information and news pertaining to the effort to save the bridge andthe coast from unplanned and unwelcome development. If you would like to help with a donation, mail your check to:

I am also pleased to report that Assemblyman Sean Kean is meeting with representatives of the group this week.
Congressman Frank Pallone has written the DOT Commissioner asking that the bridge project be reconsidered.
