Letter to the Editor: Jones Beach is Becoming an Eyesore

To the editor:

The other night my husband and I went to . As we approached the Field 4 boardwalk, I could not believe my eyes. 

This eyesore that used to be the Boardwalk Restaurant is still greeting people as they approach the boardwalk. Come on now. This construction eyesore that Donald is still there and still nothing has been done.

Is it TOH, Trump what? He has made Jones Beach start looking like its going downhill. Is it? 

As I approached the boardwalk, I could not believe this monster of a construction site is still there and nothing has been done. Years ago, as you walked under the field 4 tunnel and shouting under the overpass was something you had to do as a child approaching the walkway to the boardwalk restaurant, seeing all the flowers and the waterfall.

Now, barely any flowers, no waterfall and the beach not kept up like it used to be. With the high price of the toll now, no excuse.  

Trump had this idea a few years back. Why is our community TOH just letting it stand there? Budget cuts, politics? He should be a little bit proactive. Maybe he should not of touched this project due to the lack of time he can spare. Jones Beach has changed, and I can see the grounds are not kept up like they used to be.

I saw a lot of neglect, especially with the Trump Wall. Friendlys? They have many stands through out the beach, one on field 4  and another by the pool. They are filthy. The pool, which was nice back then, is not kept up as you can see certain entrances closed.  

Jones beach is moving towards being on the list of what used to be nice. With all the taxes we pay there is no excuse as not letting Trump do what he wants.

Is it that or the TOH that is not giving in?
