Brick, NJ – Construction has recently been completed on new sidewalks on Burnt Tavern Road that link the Greenbriar active adult community with retail and banking services.   The project was funded through Brick Township’s 2009 Capital Program.

“These new sidewalks have made walking to a bank and pharmacy safer and more convenient for Greenbriar residents,” said Mayor Stephen Acropolis.

The sidewalks begin at the entrance of the Greenbriar community and continue along eastbound Burnt Tavern Road to new shopping plazas east of Van Zile Road.  The project cost $94,264.41 and was done by Seaview General Contracting of Sayreville, New Jersey.  The project was completed on time and within budget.

The project was originally slated to be funded through federal grants and Community Block Development Grant (CDBG) funds.  To expedite the project, the Township used curbing and sidewalk funds appropriated in the 2009 Capital Program.  The federal grants and CDBG funds will be used for future projects within the Township.

Council President Joseph Sangiovanni reminds motorist to be mindful of pedestrians.  “Even with these new sidewalks, motorists should always be attentive and aware of the pedestrians along Burnt Tavern and all of our roads,” said Council President Sangiovanni.
