Update on Yale Ave Road Project as of Thursday, May 19

The road construction crew will be working Saturday, May 21 in order to get as much done as possible before Memorial Day weekend.

Change in Yale Avenue Road Project Schedule

The Yale Avenue road reconstruction project will not be finished by Memorial Day. The recent multi-day nor’easter has delayed the next phase of construction and affected road crew availability. The work recommences on Monday, May 16 with excavation of the roadway, grading, aggregate and base asphalt installation. The contractor hopes to complete all the base course before Memorial Day weekend. They will not be working on the road the Friday or Monday that weekend (May 27 & 30). After the asphalt basecourse is complete, the storm drain inlets need to be reset before the final asphalt surface is laid sometime during the week of June 6. Then the final restoration and line striping will take place. Please be aware that until the final course is laid, the roadway will be 2” below the final elevation. We will post any additional updates as needed.

An Important Message from the Environmental Commission

The Cape May Point Environmental Commission (EC) wants to alert residents to the changes in New Jersey law regarding single-use bags, polystyrene foam food service products, and straws. The new law is designed to reduce the distribution of single-use bags, Styrofoam containers, and straws that are harmful to the environment.

Beginning May 4, 2022, no stores or businesses in NJ will provide single-use plastic bags tocustomers. Also, grocery stores that occupy at least 2,500 sq. ft. will not provide paper carry out bags. Polystyrene foam containers will not be provided for take-out foods and New Jersey residents will no longer be able to purchase polystyrene plates or cups in stores. Straws will be provided when requested.

When shopping you will need to bring bags/containers with you or purchase reusable bags at the store. The law applies to what stores can give you. It doesn’t apply to what you can bring to the store.
