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.

What exactly are you suggesting the alternative would be?
Property owners have a legal right to develop their land. The zoning that made that area industrial was established last century and townships can't just pull the rug on owners by changing the use. Great way for the Township to lose a lot of money fighting lawsuits and end up losing for our trouble. You do realize that neither the Planning Board or the Township Committee have the right to just refuse development, right?
Even if you had turned back the clock decades to when the zoning was done, we never had the right or the money to prevent the land from being developed so the only other choice would have been housing. Lots and lots of housing. Like Monroe, which has been dealing with high property taxes and crappy schools ever since. Is that really what you're advocating? You really think that would be better? And since most other townships adjacent to the Turnpike also developed warehouses, since that's the logical use, we would then have higher taxes, worse schools and still have a ton of traffic flowing through our town.
So what is your grand suggestion?

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.

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.

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.
