Stop for Pedestrians!

Within several months Asbury Park’s Transportation Planner Mike Manzella has helped to make city streets safer. “Stop for Pedestrian” signs (also known as bollards) have been placed at intersections along the dangerous length of Memorial Dr, and additionally at 40 other city intersections with recorded pedestrian-involved crashes. Literally life transforming.
