Save Twilight Lake from NJ Transit. Those signs can be seen all over Bay Head as residents fight to save their precious lake in the wetlands from a substation project currently under construction.
Ellen Nolan, representative of Concerned Citizens of Bay Head, said after Superstorm Sandy in 2012, it was determined that NJ Transit lacked resiliency to weather future storms. So they came up with a resiliency plan and were granted $24 million from the Federal Transit Authority to construct a substation in Bay Head to replace what was lost in the storm.
Nolan said if it were a matter of replacing in the same spot, residents would most likely be OK with the project, but that is not what is happening.

As part of Operation Jersey Summer, a number of COVID-19 vaccine incentives will be offered to residents in the state of New Jersey.
Gov. Phil Murphy made the announcement Wednesday from Island Beach State Park in Seaside Park.
Officials say the statewide public awareness campaign is aimed at vaccinating all eligible individuals who live, work, or study in New Jersey against COVID-19.
The new incentives include a State Parks Vax Pass, providing free access to New Jersey s 51 state parks and facilities including Island Beach State Park; a free glass of wine at participating New Jersey wineries; and dinner with Governor Murphy and First Lady Tammy Murphy.
“Mostly in coffee,” she said with a laugh.
It’s a small but important sign that the Silent Spring Institute research scientist is confident in the work Barnstable town officials have done to cut the amount of dangerous chemicals within the municipal water supply.
But before town officials recognized the problem more than five years ago, people across Hyannis were drinking the contaminated water.
Now, Schaider and her colleagues at the institute, the first organization to find PFAS chemicals in Cape Cod drinking water, are trying to assess the scale of the effects the contaminated water might have had on humans health.
Subscribe Very similar to our Shot and A Beer Campaign, Uncork the Vaccination will put our world-class wineries in the spotlight, Murphy said at Wednesday s press conference. Go out and get your shot in May and then head out to one of these great participating wineries, take a walk through the vineyards, and enjoy some of the best that Jersey has to offer.
Also beginning on Wednesday, any resident 18 years and older who has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine can enter to win dinner with Murphy and the First Lady.
Last date to enter is May 31. Sign up here: https://covid19.nj.gov/forms/dinner
