Barricades in nearby neighborhoods will be removed by the weekend.
Ocean City by the weekend will remove barricades on Simpson Avenue near 34th Street and end an experiment to keep trucks and cars from using the neighborhood streets as a shortcut. "It was an attempt to find out how bad it was, and, well, it was really bad," Fourth Ward Councilman Pete Guinosso said. "Pretty chaotic." For vehicles backed up in traffic behind the signals at 34th Street, West Avenue and Bay Avenue, the neighborhoods along Simpson and Haven avenues are tempting alternative routes. But they are not designed for truck or high-speed traffic. The experiment was an attempt to try temporary measures to thwart through-traffic. A diverter at 31st and Simpson forced all vehicles to take right turns. A barricade at 33rd and Simpson …

Police seek feedback on temporary measures to reduce traffic in neighborhoods near 34th Street.
An experiment is underway on Simpson and Haven avenues near 34th Street to keep trucks and cars from using the neighborhood streets as a shortcut. For vehicles backed up in traffic behind the light at 34th Street and West Avenue, the streets are easy temptations. But they are not designed for truck or high-speed traffic, and the issue has long been a source of complaints from residents. "We were able to get some productive discussion started with residents on some of the concerns that they have regarding specific traffic safety issues in the areas of 29th to 34th Street between Haven and Simpson Avenue, including speeding, annoying truck traffic and pedestrian safety," Ocean City Police Sgt. Brian Hopely wrote in a letter to residents …

Rick McBride compiles photographs taken during and after Superstorm Sandy.
Rick McBride came down from his Pennsylvania residence to check on his home at 5400 Central Avenue as Hurricane Sandy bore down on the Jersey Shore on Oct. 28. He planned to leave at low tide on Oct. 29. But record flooding never receded that day, and because McBride was stuck, his south-end neighbors now have a spectacular photographic chronicle of the storm's impact on that part of the island. McBride compiled some of his images into a book created through a digital photograph printing service. The book is not any sort of commercial venture, but McBride said he can order additional copies for anybody interested. __________ An 8-by-8-inch version of the book costs $45 and a 12-by-12-inch version is $65. If anybody's interested they can …

City Engineer Arthur Chew reports on capital projects at the south end of Ocean City.
Fourth Ward residents gathered Friday afternoon to meet Arthur Chew — the man with the unenviable task of trying to keep water off the land — and land out of the water — on the low-lying island of Ocean City. Drainage and dredging are two of the city engineer's primary concerns, and he joined a meeting organized by Fourth Ward Councilman Roy Wagner to update residents on capital projects in progress on the south end of Ocean City. The 3:30 p.m. meeting was held in the social hall at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church. Chew, a 1991 graduate of Ocean City High School and 1995 graduate of Princeton University (before moving on to grad school), used a PowerPoint presentation to highlight his department's projects, including: But the …
