WILDWOOD CREST – The Borough of Wildwood Crest has closed its beach and beachfront bicycle path to the public, effective immediately, in an effort to reduce the rate of community spread of COVID-19, according to a release.
The closures were made in a proclamation set forth by Wildwood Crest Office of Emergency Management Coordinator Ron Harwood, the statement reads.
The proclamation also officially closes all of the borough’s public parks and playgrounds.
The closure of the beach includes all areas fronting the Atlantic Ocean and extending northwesterly to Beach Avenue or the bulkhead, whichever is further from the ocean. The bike path closure includes the entire length of the path from Cresse Avenue to Rambler Road.
This proclamation has been crafted with respect to measures taken by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and New Jersey Director of Emergency Management Colonel Patrick J. Callahan through Executive Order 108 and Administrative Order No. 2020-8, said the borough’s statement.
The Wildwood Crest Board of Commissioners is expected to pass a resolution supporting this proclamation at its regular meeting Weds.
Moments later, Wildwood and North Wildwood issued a joint statement saying their beaches and boardwalk will close at midnight Wednesday, with some exceptions.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
