Lakewood Makes Plans to Keep Ahead of the Snow
In a multi-pronged plan, Lakewood Township Committeeman Meir Lichtenstein has announced that the Township is preparing for the safety and convenience of its residents way ahead of this year’s wintery weather forecasts. These plans, including a resident ‘alert’ system, were developed through Committeeman Lichtenstein’s work as liaison to the Office of Emergency Management, and in conjunction with Mayor Menashe Miller and the entire Township Committee.
First of all, in order to prepare for faster and more thorough snow cleanup, the Department of Public Works (DPW) is determining which areas in town need special attention because of the amount of time workers must devote to clearing snow there. Under possible consideration are West Gate except Hillside Ave, Chateau Park, Regency Estates, Elmwood Village, Lakewood Commons, Sterling Forest, Sterling Place, and Lakeview Place. In such cases, privatization may deliver a faster and more financially efficient cleanup.
Committeeman Lichtenstein says, “In case we get hit with a huge snow storm, we are also looking for ‘on call’ people who would be available to help. Last year, we found that our equipment was sitting idle because our operators who had worked many, many, many hours, needed to go home to rest. We want to prequalify people to operate our equipment or their own equipment. We have already cleared this plan with the Union, our insurance company, and our attorney to make sure everything is set up properly.”
The Township is also planning to designate an OEM (Office of Emergency Management) snow plow to make sure firehouses and first aid buildings are plowed out; and to help first aiders, fire departments, and the police department during a call if they need assistance in getting around during a snow storm.
Any private companies or individual snow plowers who would like to be considered should obtain an application from Michael Muscillo, the Lakewood Township municipal manager, at the Lakewood Municipal Building, 231 Third Street. Call 732-364-2500 Ext. 5200 for further information.
Meir Lichtenstein is also advising residents to sign up for township alerts, a progressive way for the town to communicate with its residents, by visiting www.lakewoodnj.gov/alerts.
“We are offering residents a way to sign up for township alerts in specific areas of interest, not only for snow-related situations but for emergency and traffic alerts, school closings, township announcements and events, power outage updates, announcements from the DPW, or even requests for proposals. By using the alert system, residents could find out when to expect certain streets to be plowed or whether trash collection will take place in a part of town because of the snow.
“Please keep in mind that the alert system is a work in progress. In other words, we’ll see how this system unfolds and how we can best use it to be in communication with our residents.”

Lights On! in Lakewood
Lakewood Mayor Menashe Miller has started a campaign Lights On! in Lakewood to identify burned out street lights and get them repaired at once by JCP&L. To help in this effort, Mayor Miller is calling upon Lakewood residents to gather in the auditorium of the Lakewood Municipal Building, 231 Third Street, at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 27 to help to identify burned out street lights.
Volunteers will be given a street map with a specific zone to survey to make sure all street lights in that area zone are functioning. Mayor Miller estimates that with 60-70 volunteers, it should only take 20-30 minutes.
In the meantime, residents can call (732) 364-2500 Ext. POLE (7653) to report the street pole number of any lights that are out.
“This is a safety issue,” remarked Mayor Miller. “With sunset now occurring around 4:30 p.m. and with the number of pedestrians in our community wearing dark clothing, it is essential that our streets be well-lit. Join me for Lights On! in Lakewood and let’s make sure all our street lights are working properly.”

About the Strand Theater The historic Strand Theater, 400 Clifton Ave., Lakewood, was designed by world-renowned theater architect Thomas Lamb in 1922 and is listed on the N.J. and National Register of Historic Places. The Lakewood Development Corporation (LDC) purchased the Strand in 1999. A program of capital improvements by the Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) provided the funding, at no cost to the taxpayers, for the construction, renovation and restoration of the theater, inside and outside.
Today the Strand Theater is considered an anchor in the downtown for creating economic growth, providing incentives for job creation, and attracting pedestrian traffic. The Strand offers year-round entertainment in plush, air-conditioned surroundings. It is a perfect venue to showcase comedians, musicals, dinner theater, stars from television and movies, and legendary musical entertainers. The reception gallery includes a catering facility for 250 people, a dance floor, and restrooms. It is ideal for theater-in-the-round, smaller events and receptions. The Strand School of the Arts offers professional training opportunities for youth.
The Strand relies on the support of Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Township of Lakewood, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority; and the LDC and the UEZ programs along with many businesses, organizations, and individuals.
