Flock Cam Outrage!!! Oh... Wait...

Good to see the mayor+council's principled stand against Flock cameras as cited in today's Red Bank Green article https://www.redbankgreen.com/2026/09/red-bank-flock-cameras-09152026/

So just a reminder of those simpler times when the borough plotted its own excursion into surveillance territory, and it only cost $410,312.45...

Resolution 24-212, proposed by Cllr Triggiano and passed unanimously at the meeting of the mayor+council, September 26, 2024.

Resolution 24-212, tabled at the September 26, 2024 meeting of Red Bank's mayor+council 

And as noted in the following Minutes

Proposed by Cllr Triggiano and passed unanimously using the method regular meeting attendees refer to as the "rubber-stamp" technique

1 in 3 Road Death Victims in New Jersey is either a Cyclist or Pedestrian

 In 2026 a third of all deaths on New Jersey roads are either a pedestrian or cyclist...

New Jersey roads: Year on year fatalities are reported to have fallen by 8.5% However, 2026 cyclist and pedestrian deaths currently aggregate to the same as 2025 which means the %age of VRU deaths is now running at 32% of the total 1 in 3 NJ deaths on the road is either a cyclist or pedestrian

On 'Yer Bike

Bike parking at Red Bank NJ's (NO WHEELS!) Broadwalk "street fair"... 

 The town is a multiple safe streets awards winner... No! Really? 

BikePed infrastructure benefits the community AND local businesses, services, security and the environment.

The extent of Red Bank's multi-million $ Broad Walk "development" bicycle parking facility. These consumer-level products are commonly known as 'Wheel Wreckers" and are highly portable with a small truck

Planning and Zoning Inaction in Red Bank.

Just strolled by the new One Globe Court on one of Red Bank's more historic streets.

Once again concerned about the safety of this largely wooden building and also when apartments are going to be on sale. Given the glut of "luxury apartments" in the town I suppose a delay is inevitable.
 
But my main concern today is the encroachment beyond the property line and immediately up to the sidewalk which is also compromised by an overhang and the massive utility poles set in the sidewalk which must surely reduce its specification below Complete Streets and ADA requirements.
 

One Globe Ct, August 2026, sidewalk security measures looking rather battered and well... unsafe...

The Planning/Zoning boards approval of this development was a travesty. Yes, I attended all the meetings and listened to all the reports, even the "traffic engineer's" rather imaginative submission...

One Globe Court September 2025... Don't mention cladding, fire resistance or utility overload...

New Jersey: Vision Zero or Zero Vision

Most days I monitor fatalities on NJ roads, compiled from the NJ State Police website. I report via @njcrash.bsky.social on Bluesky

Basic trend for this year means that more than 10people/week die on NJ streets, every single victim killed either in or being hit by a car, bus or truck. Worse, pedestrian and cyclist deaths are up on this time last year.

 

8/18/2026: 334 dead in 229 days on New Jersey roads in 2026, including 98peds + 11cyclists Every single victim killed either in or being hit by a car, bus or truck Pedestrian and Cyclist deaths on NJ streets are now continuing to trend worse than in 2025 #visionzero #bikeped #safestreets

Red Bank Mayor+Council's Vision... 'Nuff Said...

 The VNA site at the town's northern gateway. Just wait until Rail v2.00...

 

 

Where The Car Is The Star... Reprise...

Red Bank has the highest crash/mile rate in Monmouth County.

The town has several awards for road safety. You might wonder how? 

Meanwhile in Red Bank NJ, "accidents" will happen... The only way most of us know is if they're posted on Fb Getting data on these cases is impossible, even in incidents involving KSIs Walking or biking in the town is at least 5x more lethal than similar trips in Europe... #bikeped #zerovision
