On the Roads Again 6 Can 't Please Everybody...1 ED NOTE: Two Cape May County highway projects brought angry complaints from business interests last week. These two stories by Zelnik show how the county reacted to each. S. Harbor: Think Produce

The curious conspiracy to keep Stone Harbor inaccessible received a new wrinkle Friday. The county moved its "Bridge Closed" blockade one mile east on Stone Harbor Boulevard smack dab in front of Tim Rush Produce instead of just east of the access road to the Middle Township High School. As a result, motorists — I including hundreds of f tourists arriving for the weekend Friday afternoon — had another two miles added to their 10-mile detour. They also had to turn around in the two-lane road, a maneuver that backed up traffic for some length. THE COUNTY EMPLOYE standing in front of the sign, arms folded, said he didn't know why the blockade was there. And County Engineer Neil 0. Clarke told this newspaper it was "not my decision." He referred questions to the county Bridge Department located just east of the Great Channel Bridge. An employe there said county Bridge Supervisor Edward J. Ayers moved the detour sign after complaints from Tim Rush that his produce stand was losing business. "You can't please everybody," said John Adams of the department. ON WEDNESDAY and Thursday, the barrier had been at the access road where there was adequate radius for motorists to make a safe U-turn. On Wednesday and Thursday the announced 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. closing lasted until about 1 p.m., on Friday, the announced 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. closing lasted until 3:45 p.m. Stone Harbor merchants were reported to be livid. Motorists were merely furious. Incidently, if they took the Avalon route to Stone Harbor, they found Oceap Drive closed for repairs. That left them Dune Drive. BOB HOVICK. principal engineer with the state Department of Transportation overseeing the job, told this newspaper Monday that "both leafs are operational" and the "initial balance" is completed." But, he said, two more closings would be necessary and "that should be it." They were scheduled for 7 to 11 a.m. yesterday and today, too early for us to warn you. "They are working with some old parts and some new parts and it is very, very difficult." said Hovick. Bridge Supervisor Ayres said the blockade sign would be in its original spot, but with a sign saying "Local Businesses Open." He said the move to the Rush Produce stand last

week was "to give the guy an equal opportunity" after the closing was extended past the scheduled 11 a.m. The reconstruction is being done by Raymond International Builders of Houston, Tex. It originally was supposed to be a 10-month job completed by the fall of 1984. The rest is history.

Ocean City: A first... OCEAN CITY - This time it was a case of the loudest squeaking wheel not getting the grease, or asphalt. Business in this politically-powerful city last week raised a fuss over a road improvement job that was hurting business. So the county cancelled it. "I can't remember ever doing this before," conceded County Engineer Neil O. Clarke. His department head is Freeholder James S. Kilpatrick Jr. of — you guessed it — Ocean City. McCarthy paving of Woodbine had received a $252,237 contract from the county to pave Bay Avenue (County Route 656) on April 22. It was supposed to finish by July 3. But when the job started two weeks ago. business owners on Bay said it was "killing us." Kilpatrick and Clarke went to Bay Avenue, looked the job over, and told McCarthy Paving to go home and come back in the fall. CLARKE TOLD this newspaper there "may possibly be a small charge to us for mobilization" (McCarthy's). And he said the county may have to add some gravel to fill in trenches already dug. The project includes concrete gutter and some storm drain pipes in addition to resurfacing, he explained. Garke also said that, after the job was stopped, he got a call from a woman claiming to represent "a group of people" who travel on Bay Avenue, said it's in awful shape, and want the work done now. Ocean City, with about 15,000 people, has 17 percent of the county's population. It also has 18.5 percent (9,355 of 50,430) of the county's voters. £
