Condition of boardwalk hazardous to MU runner

As a student of Monmouth University I consider myself a part-time resident of West Long Branch, therefore my interests and concerns are equally as important as a full-time resident. I am shocked by the condition of the “boardwalk,” which runs along the beach into Pier Village. The aged and weatherbeaten wood is a hazard to all walkers, runners, animals, etc.

As an avid runner along this path, I’ve witnessed many falls and trips that could have easily been prevented. I believe it is imperative that this walkway is kept in shape because of its close proximity to Pier Village.

Not only is this walkway a hazard, but it is also a bad reflection on Pier Village. Hopefully, you’ll agree that something should be done about this hazard immediately. Thanks for your consideration.
