The Bamboozle Festival in Asbury Park is bringing more than just Bon Jovi and the Foo Fighters to the area this weekend. The West Long Branch Police are warning residents of the increased traffic the three-day concert will bring to Route 36 and the area around Monmouth Park from Friday through Sunday. Monmouth Park will serve as the free offsite parking for the three-day music festival, using lots along Oceanport Avenue. Concertgoers will pay the $10 daily fee for the shuttle bus to Asbury Park, or $25 for all three days. A Nixle message from the West Long Branch Police says residents should try to avoid the area if they are not planning on attending the concert. "Officers will be positioned at points along the route as well as in and …
Shuttle buses start running at 2 p.m. on Friday.
Oceanport Police are doing their best not to get bamboozled over the next few days as concertgoers use a Monmouth Park lot as overflow parking for a weekend-long music festival in Asbury Park. Police Chief Howard Sutton said on Thursday that early numbers do not seem to be as high as the initial 12,000 people that concert organizers estimated would park in the borough and be shuttled to the Bamboozle festival this weekend in Asbury Park. However, the beautiful weather forecast for the weekend might increase ticket sales, Sutton said at the May 17 Oceanport Borough Council meeting. Monmouth Park will serve as the free offsite parking for the three-day music festival, using lots along Oceanport Avenue. Concertgoers will pay the $10 daily fee…

Large number of floating buoys may be a hazard, officials say
Most boaters have been there. It's night time, but channel markers are there to guide you back to your marina or boat ramp. The only obstacle, of course, is the large number of buoys marking "No Wake" zones that dot the path between the open bay and your home port. On a busy summer weekend, the buoys can sometimes cause stress as boaters try to navigate skinny channels in the nation's most densely populated state. Boaters who equate the proliferation of buoy markers in waterways, such as the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers and Sandy Hook's bay, to a minefield of anchored obstacles will see some relief this summer. The state will reduce the number of "No Wake" warning buoys up and down the coast. The total number of buoys, which mark areas …

The West Long Branch Police say the home was broken into during the day, but did not provide a specific address or time of day.

Reducing the number of no wake buoys is like removing the speed limit signs on the road. "I'm supposed to drive 25 mph in an area where there are lots of houses, children, and dogs? Where's the sign?" Can't wait to see how it plays out on the Navesink on summer weekends. more ›
