To the Editor:

This letter is to the residents of Fifth Street in Ship Bottom, between Barnegat and Shore avenues. As the councilman responsible for water and sewer, I want to apologize for the absence of communication prior to the start of the project currently in progress on your street. Brad Friedman’s letter (“No Communication,” 11/22) is accurate; I am sorry for the inconvenience and regret the frustration it has caused.
