RED BANK: SOOOO EXCITED FOR THE BREAD

Jan 3, 2014

East Siders Christina Dostie and Jenny Rossano made the snowy trek into downtown Red Bank this morning for the debut of Antoinette Boulangerie, the new bakery on Monmouth Street. The pair toted home bags of flaky carbs to get them through the snow day.

“We’re exited for the bread and croissants and a place to stop on the walk home from school,” says Rossano. (Photo by Jim Willis. Click to enlarge)

By DUSTIN RACIOPPI

When a group of residents banded together almost two years ago to make Red Bank’s streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists, there were never any notions it’d be a fast-moving process. Compiling data, analyzing studies and working with local and state government simply don’t lend themselves to timeliness.

But in the long-distance course to effect change, a grassroots group made a leap forward Monday night when it all but secured adoption from the borough planning board of a 100-plus page report on bike and walker safety, including a multitude of recommendations on how to improve the way of life of those on two legs and two wheels.

It’s probably a stretch to call her the borough’s bike czar. But Red Bank is about to get an official advocate for safe walking and biking.

Jenny Rossano of Worthley Street is expected to be named as a volunteer liaison to the borough planning and zoning boards to help spot potential conflicts with a recent study of pedestrian and bicyclist safety by Urban Engineers, a Philadelphia planning firm.

“I don’t want to be a czar of anything,” Rossano says with a laugh. “I just don’t want all this work that Urban Engineers did to be pushed under the carpet.”
