Pier Village Boardwalk Repairs Complete in Long Branch

Boardwalk now fully open to public

The boardwalk at Pier Village has been repaired and it is now fully accessible to the public. Construction began on Jan. 17 and took a little over a month to complete. Repairs includes concrete slope protection, railings, sand berm, landscaping and repair of the boardwalk's irrigation system. The Long Branch Council awarded a $194,380 contract to K.B.D. Construction LLC for the work in January. The Pier Village boardwalk was designed in a way that allowed the water to go underneath and then go back out to the ocean, so it was not as badly damaged as the boardwalk south of the Long Branch shopping center. Those repairs will be much more costly for the city, but FEMA is also expected to pay for the work. Officials have said the cost to …

Whatever one thinks of Pier Village, the taxes do not pay for LB's school system. Check out the sources of funding for the schools, and (within the portion of that revenue derived from local school property taxes) the percentage coming from Pier Village. Even with the taxes from Pier Village, LB still has an extremely high local school property tax rate and, generally, an extremely high property …   more ›

Avenue Donating 10 Percent of Proceeds to Local Rebuilding Efforts

Pier Village restaurant reopens today

  Avenue, one of Pier Village's three oceanfront restaurants that was damaged during Hurricane Sandy, will be reopening today and will be donating 10 percent of its sales to Jersey Shore charities through the end of the year. The restaurant, located at 23 Ocean Avenue, sustained over $100,000 in damage from Hurricane Sandy last month after high winds and water ripped through the building’s electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, which are located on the bottom of the restaurant. Over $30,000 in food was lost to spoilage due to the absence of electricity for more than two weeks as well. “We worked around the clock to get the business back online for the past sixteen days,” General Manager Thierry Carrier said in a release to Patch. “We …

All Pier Village Stores, Restaurants Will Be Open Today

Three restaurants have been closed since Hurricane Sandy

  The recovery for Pier Village in Long Branch has been quick, despite the damage some of its stores and restaurants sustained during Hurricane Sandy. Today will mark the first day when every restaurant and store will be open to the public, as Sirena, Avenue and McLoone's Pier House are reopening. The three restaurants lie directly on the boardwalk and suffered the most damage from the hurricane. Other stores such as the Aloha Grove and Koi Botique and restaurants such as Indulge and Turning Point reopened last week. They were able to open more quickly because they are located further west than Sirena, Avenue and McLoone's Pier House. The boardwalk in Pier Village survived the storm and is intact. The section of the boardwalk that lies …

Beach Sweeps in Long Branch on Saturday

Clean Ocean Action's twice-yearly event is in its 28th year and still welcoming volunteers young and old

  Another summer has come and gone, filled with days of laughter, sunshine and relaxation at the beach. While the parties have gone, the reminders of them -- caps from water bottles and soda, straws from drinks, and hundreds of other bits of debris -- remain behind. This Saturday, hundreds of volunteers will be hitting the state's beaches from Sandy Hook to Cape May to pick up plastics, Styrofoam, cans and much more, left behind by humans and the tides, as part of Clean Ocean Action's fall Beach Sweeps event. In the Long Branch area, the Sweeps will be done at the Pier Village beach. Volunteers will meet at the beach entrance at Melrose Terrace and Ocean Avenue. Since the first sweeps in 1985, more than 90,000 volunteers have participated …
