[quote="Guest"]This was written by an attendee at the meeting:

There was a lot of discussion and everyone concluded that Old Trenton Road is a dangerous road with speed, passing, and turning issues, plus it is dangerous of  to cross as a pedestrian, even in the cross walk.
 
There was no copy of the actual plan (to widen and re stripe) for us to view but there was discussion of the plan being posted in town hall so residents can see what the County is planning . The Township Engineer will send you a copy if you contact him, call Town Hall. From verbal description few were convinced this project will make the road safer.  Most concerns, letters, petitions over the years have been regarding the speed limit and making no passing zones. This project does not address those issues.
 
It was recommended that a separate hearing be held for the County to go over the widening plan with residents. Look for future notices.  If I hear of such a meeting I will forward the info. 
 
 
  In the meantime, Dan Mulligan mentioned he was in contact with Middlesex County Freeholder James Polos  (since this is a County project and he is in charge of Public Works and Transportation) . Dan suggested  we all  flood Mr. Polos' office with calls stating our displeasure in the lack of notification, lack of explanation and lack of resident input, regarding the Old Trenton Road Project. His number is 732-249-2611.  If you know someone who is interested and concerned please give them this name and number.
 
It was interesting to learn that this widening project has been on the books for over 10 years, most likely when Shadow Oaks was originally designed the County made the builder widen the road where the development was to be built, and had the other sections where homes were already established slated for a later date.
 
As if living on OLT Road isn't hard enough it is upsetting to hear the residents talk about how  the government can come in and just take what they need.  If a hearing is scheduled and the County comes to talk please try and make the meeting, this could be any of us, these residents need our support.[/quote]
