📰 News we're reading

• Traffic Advisory: Longport Police issue traffic advisories ahead of roadwork (downbeach.com) — Longport drivers should prepare for lane shifts and temporary loss of beachside parking on Atlantic Avenue between 22nd and 17th as the borough builds a new raised bike lane along the seawall. The project aims to improve safety for walkers, runners, and cyclists heading to the Longport Point observation and parking area, but will bring delays and require strict compliance with police and work crews on scene.
