To the Editor:

Every year, someone writes about the private lanes in Long Beach Township. Last week, Liquid Lines took astab at it. I would like to perhaps enlighten the author.

I understand the desire to provide access to everywhere on LBI to all. But let me tell you about the private lanes. When our street gets potholes or loses stones, each owner pays to pave/fix the street. This summer someone stole the street sign. Each owner paid to replace the sign. This island floods.
