To the Editor:

Like approximately half of the property owners in Ship Bottom, I am not a permanent resident. However, my family lives in our 19th Street home from late May until the end of September and visits for short stays throughout the remainder of the year. My husband and I are very familiar with the traffic on East Bay Terrace. We regularly see drivers heading south on Barnegat, “California stopping” or outright blowing through the stop sign at 19th and then zipping down East Bay.
