• Lakewood Township Renames Downtown Street in Honor of Late Fire Chief Richard Wallace (lakewoodalerts.com) — Division Street in downtown Lakewood is being renamed "Chief Richard C. Wallace Way" to honor the late longtime fire chief's six decades of service. With Fire Station 1 at the renamed intersection, officials say the tribute will be a daily reminder of his dedication to protecting Lakewood residents and mentoring generations of firefighters.
• Boys Soccer: Results and recaps for Friday, Sept. 4 (nj.com subscription) — Lakewood High's boys soccer team is on the road at Ewing this afternoon, part of a packed statewide slate of games. The running scoreboard and schedule let Lakewood fans track today's matchup, see how other Shore Conference teams are doing, and follow ranked programs across New Jersey as results come in.
• Jack-knifed tractor trailer on Route 18 (app.com) — Drivers in Lakewood should be ready for a five-mile backup on the Garden State Parkway southbound, stretching from Exit 89A at Route 70 to around Exit 83 in Toms River. A jack-knifed tractor trailer on Route 18 and a water main break in Point Pleasant Beach are adding to pre-Labor Day congestion for anyone heading toward or from town.
