Monroe Twp Truck ban

[Guest354-8o65]

I suggest that those who live in Cranbury Walk, Cranbury Station, the Estates, Evans Drive, or Cranbury Green read the article in Monroe Township’s web site (Monroetwp.com). Then, I suggest you attend the TC meeting on Monday and stress to the committee members that they should encourage Middlesex County to withhold any decision until an unbiased traffic study can be conducted. Letting this stand unchallenged will increase traffic on Rt 130.

Rt 130 is a highway, why would it be better to put more traffic on smaller roads than a highway. Maybe those residences should go to the meeting and ask why a road and bridge that would have elevated all this failed, yet the building continues? Maybe they should be asking what does cranbury really get from bringing in all the monstrous buildings when a few years later this is the divide and separation and degradation it causes? To have the lowest taxes in the county? At what expense? If one group or town doesn't want trucks and more traffic, why should anyone else?

Well now we will get to see how having a new Mayor with no understanding of where or who to get help from comes into play. Our present Mayor has no association with the county or the state officials. He has neither the time nor the experience to surmount this problem.
The other concern is the township attorney who will continue to represent us at these meetings with the county and state. So far it appears that he has not helped us in any way to make progress. All that has been done so far is to lighten our coffers.
Unfortunately with Silent Mike at Matt's side and two totally new Committee members who have to find their way around and seem to be too shy to say much, we are left with Jay who threw the fuel on the fire so many times with his very public conflicts with the Mayor of Monroe.
If "We the People" do not voice serious concerns very publicly we will be the creators of our own failure to get this resolved. By the way, where are our Assembly and Senate representatives?----they know where to find us when they want our votes, but remember the population of Monroe is gigantic compared to the population of Cranbury.

The issue is not to put more trucks on smaller roads but a misrepresentation from Monroe’s mayor regarding his bias traffic study. There is no way that there are 300 tractor trailers going on those roads each day. I traveled both Station Rd and Half Acre to and from work and now often during the day. No way is the traffic as severe as stated by Monroe. Some control on those smaller roads, ok but not on a major road like Applegarth. Taylor met with a councilman from Monroe to try to arrive at a solution. Monroe’s mayor wouldn’t meet with him. The councilman was than blamed by the Monroe mayor for meeting with Cranbury. Seems we can’t win.

The state will do there own study. There is no way that the State DoT is gonna just go by whatever Monroe Twp says. The county is a joke. They won’t spend a dime on anything.

Well this concept of private ownership and decisions regarding what to do with what you have worked for needs to be stopped . The Best way is for Bernie Sanders to get elected, No private ownership of anything, the State will make these decisions after confiscation of private property. Like Castro did in Cuba, Go Bernie.
