Full Notification

Dear Residents,
 
We will celebrate Halloween and Trick-or-Treating on October 31, 2023 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.  Please remember there will be increased foot traffic as parents and children will be out visiting our neighborhoods.  Please reduce speeds in all residential areas and be mindful of the increased pedestrian traffic.  Parents need to remember to inspect all candy and goodies before anyone consumes their treats. 
 
Due to safety concerns surrounding Trick-or-Treat, I have decided to close Morton Avenue between Upland Avenue and Crestview Avenue. This closure will occur at 5:45pm and re-open when the streets are clear of pedestrian traffic, which should be around 8:00pm. There will be no traffic entering or exiting the closed area. 
 
The Sports Complex Area, off Morton Avenue, will be available for parking during this event. 
 
I recognize this may be an inconvenience for you as a homeowner, but I hope you understand I made this decision with the safety of the families and children celebrating this special event. I ask that if you have any family or friends who are planning to visit, please keep in mind the closure times of the roadway. Our goal is to maintain a safe environment for the residents and visitors of Absecon!
 
Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy this special holiday!
 
Chief James Laughlin
