| Hello neighbors! I want to use this board the way it was intended — open communication. My door (and my inbox) is always open. This month's priorities: pothole repair on Lakeside Dr, the beach parking situation, and getting the summer fireworks budget finalized. Post your concerns right here and I'll answer what I can. — Mayor Alex Mermelstein | |

| Nice to see you on here Mayor. Are you gonna do anything about the dumpster behind the firehouse? It's been overflowing for 2 weeks | |
| Post #3 • amermelstein | 2026-10-04 2:27 PM ET |
| Mike — yes, called Republic this morning. Pickup is scheduled Thursday. If it's not gone by Friday, post a photo and I'll get it done myself with my own pickup truck. | |

| While you're at it Mayor, the crosswalk paint near Byram Township School is completely faded. Kids walk to school there. | |

| Good catch Linda. Adding it to the DPW list this week. I'd rather repaint it twice a year than read about an accident. | |

| I walked past that this morning and thought the same thing. Glad someone said something. | |

| I'll bring pies to the next meeting if they fix this. Any flavor. I'm serious. | |

| lindahayes crosswalk repainting is on the DPW list for this week — put me down for apple, and thats an official town commitment, not a bribe. jeffepstein thanks for the kind word but the real credit goes to whoever reported the dumpster before i noticed it. — mayor alex | |

| mayor — thursday pickup means i can walk the firehouse route tomorrow morning without retching, if republic actually shows. if they dont i got a full tank of allergy meds with your name on it, and linda bring two pies, one for the meeting and one for my sinuses | |

| thats my last post so to be clear for anyone reading — whoever left that mystery casserole dish on top of the firehouse dumpster: its not trash to somebody, its evidence. DPW thursday cant come soon enough | |

| mike the casserole dish is a pyrex, those things are heirlooms — if nobody claims it by friday im adopting it, walk past that dumpster every morning and its the most interesting thing happening on my route | |

| linda the pyrex gets one more morning, if nobody claims it by friday its yours — i already told republic to leave it on the fence rail like a lost-and-found box. thursday pickup stands, mike your sinuses get their relief by friday. — mayor alex | |
