To the Editor:

I am responding to the reported need for a turning lane on Route 72 at the Brighton at Barnegat development. I have been a resident of Brighton at Barnegat for three years, however my mother and aunt have lived here much longer, so I have been frequenting this development for about 30 years. The turning lane or a stop light has been an ongoing discussion for most of that time, and I have been watching.

My first point in this discussion is: Have you ever had a tough time getting out of Brighton?
