It was called challenge Atlantic City and that's where they should have kept it. They basically cut Mullica in half by closing off all the main roads to get around. Also liked how much notice we were given that this was happening. It was all right to inconvience the western end of the county but I did not see the bike race running along the shore islands. You know we can't inconvience the tourists. Thanks Atlantic City great job
I'd also like to add to earlier comment in regards to Atlantic city. They organized this event to bring tourists and lots of crowds and money to AC. All the other towns involved had to spend money on traffic control probably o/t included for a weekend. Hopefully someone will tell us that money was provided by the event organizers to help defray costs. If not it's just another argument why some CRDA funds should be allocated for this instead of the huge waste of funding in AC for strange artwork, 3 bus stations over a 5 year period , etc etc.
