📰 News we're reading

• Brick moves to lower Lanes Mill Road speed limit (starnewsgroup.com) — Brick officials are moving to cut the Lanes Mill Road speed limit near Brick Memorial High School from 40 to 35 mph after the fatal crash that killed student Jackson Mueller. Residents are pressing for more safety steps—like stronger enforcement, working school-zone lights, and possible sidewalks—while the township coordinates with Ocean County and Brick police ahead of the Sept. 3 school opening.
   

• How F-Cove in Brick became a prized landing spot for shore boaters (pressofatlanticcity.com) — Hundreds of boaters are flocking to F-Cove, the popular party spot tucked off Barnegat Bay in Brick Township, where State Police and Brick police boats are keeping watch over crowds beached along the Forsythe refuge shoreline. Photos and descriptions capture how this Brick landmark has evolved into a go-to summer gathering place, highlighting both its appeal and the heavy recreational use it now sees.
   

• Lanes to Close For Three Months Along Bridge Avenue's Lovelandtown Bridge (shorebeat.com) — Drivers who use the Lovelandtown Bridge on Bridge Avenue should expect months of lane closures starting Sept. 15 as the state repairs heat-related expansion issues on the 1971 span. One lane each way and at least one sidewalk will stay open, but officials are warning of delays and urging caution—especially for Brick-area residents heading toward the beach or school routes.
