Oh well, someone who gets this contract will make a lot of money, and the State poorer. It's like we have all these signs posted around the country showing the Evacuation Route to follow. There is no doubt this was our Federal Governments stimulus money being wasted. It will never end....

Exactly! Wait until the kenyan gets his newly appointed epa administratir to start some kind of ridiculous cap amd trade system to further enrich the enviro terrorists.

The Kenyan -- incredible!

Ha,i love it.Did You ever imagine our American presidents name would be barack Hussein obama, think about that for a minute

Yes go to Newark airport and a Arab is the TSA agent, and he dosen't speak English very well.

neither did most of our ancestors that got off the boat your nickname is fitting because your small mind is shorely corrupted

Ah, the ‘feel-good guys’ back-slapping nicety-nice 9th District legislation of the month announcement. They want us to pay real money to some politically-connected outfit to hoodwink the public into believing that evacuating the NJ coastal area during an emergency is possible for anyone except perhaps the first line of evacuees. On a sunny summer Sunday afternoon when tens of thousands of people head home after a relaxing day or weekend at the beach, there is state-wide gridlock up and down the Parkway, Expressway, and the few mostly single-lane at some point state highways leading away from the shore. And that is with most of the area residents staying at home and these travelers not troubled by a panicky or overanxious state of mind. During a normal rainstorm many of the coastal area roads flood to some degree regularly, and I’m not talking about just the shore towns. I live several miles west of LBI and during Hurricane Sandy, like many of the other severe weather conditions we normally experience, traffic wasn’t going anywhere on Route 72 without a surfboard to help out. It doesn’t take many flooded-out vehicles to shut down a road, regardless of whether or not there are 300,000 people on LBI. Since we are going to spend all this money to basically replace signs already in place, may I suggest the signs be mounted on buoys this time so that when our car floods, we have a path to follow while swimming for our lives.

It's amazing the hate in this forum, for god sake it's the president of the USA you are all racist bigots, your ignorance disgusts me!

I am with you, shorefriend. What a bunch of classless, racists, lowlife

I started this with comments about wasting additional money on a report that will go no where. We don't have the money to do anything further with our roads. It would be nice if they could just repave what we have. Having said that I agree with Mac. It is what it is and again stop wasting more money with additional studies. Not sure how the President got involved, that's another whole story by itself

the president is a racist lowlife and wants to destroy this country

barry this is not the united states of america i grew up in the sixtys seventys or eightys there is nothing UNITED about thisa country any more it is a shame and discrace to all of us amen

the comments here are a shame and disgrace to all of us

I voted for Obama and someone else is writing this for me - because I can't read or write - but don't tell me that JayZ is in the white house drinking grape soda - that is going too far and if I had known that JayZ would be drinking grape soda in the white house - why, what if he spills it? Isn't the white house white? Won't that make a big purple stain? And Philip - your confused -the classless ones were the ones who made derogatory remarks about the President, and so did you, so I guess - you are one of the classless, blah blahs anyway something must be done about the grape soda - I think a protest is in order outside the white house before it becomes the purple house because it is inevitable that soda spills especially when you know who types are drinking it

GOTCHA -- Steve, Amy, Liz, its over, Philp, commonman and other hate-mongers!
Now why don't you complain about your 3 Repugnant legislators? Why don't you call them some racist-inspired names? Turn off Faux News and join the 21st century. The South lost that 19th century war.

Excuse. But the comment by Liz. Incredible. Was a comment of disgust that someone called our President "the Kenyan". Not a comment of agreement!

Do any of these State Reps live in the affected areas? And these improvements prove to be needed they should be paid for with a consumption tax so the slackers get to contribute not just another tax on the worker Bees!

Let's stay on topic. According to the WH, if one life can be saved, then no one should be able to live at the shore. Thus, there's no reason for an evaculation plan. Everyone is making this waaay to complicated.
