By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Township officials said they closed down another hotel, this time because it was uninhabitable, and the people living there had to find other places to stay. The Parkway Motel, formerly the Americana, was closed indefinitely and will only reopen if considerable repairs are made. It was closed after inspectors visited the property located at 925 Route 166. “We had an annual fire inspection,” business administrator Don Guardian said.

Unfortunately, there were 18 people living there at the time. (Hotel - See Page 6)

New Bus Stops Proposed For Toms River

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER - Bus stops have been proposed by state entities along highways in Toms River. A representative from NJTransit said that there are six bus stops proposed on Route 37.

The stops are contingent on whether the town and county agree to them, the spokesperson said. Additionally, at a recent meeting, the Township Council passed a resolution supporting the State Department of Transportation placing bus stops at the following locations on Route 9: • Between Silverton Road and Stevens (Bus - See Page 6)
