Brick, NJ – In an effort to make getting around easier, the Township of Brick is replacing missing and illegible street signs and Mayor Stephen C. Acropolis is reaching out to residents for help.

“Our Public Works employees have been told to be on the lookout for missing street signs and ones that are worn and can’t be read easily,” said Mayor Acropolis.  “However, we have over 1,750 streets that we are responsible for.  Any help residents can give us in this effort are greatly appreciated.”

“As you can see by the recent improvements to the Route 70 corridor, as well as other areas, we are committed to upgrading the roadway infrastructure within our township,” said Council Vice President Dan Toth, who also serves as the Chairman of the Council’s Public Safety Committee.  “Street signs, as small as they may be, play an integral role in ensuring that such roadway improvements get fully utilized, affording motorists the most efficient route possible.  We are paying attention to every detail in an effort to make your commute hassle-free.”

Residents are being asked to call the Department of Public Works at 732-451-4060 to report missing street signs or signs that cannot be read.

Mayor Acropolis says that missing or illegible street signs are a public safety issue.  “Our police and emergency responders rely on street signs to do their jobs,” said Mayor Acropolis.  “When every second counts, our responders can’t afford to miss a turn because a street sign is gone.”
