    Have you noticed the traffic study on Route 35 between 71 and just after MacLearie? That can’t be for Bridge project or could it? Traffic diversions when Bridge out for months?

    OK, class, today we are going to learn why our taxes are so high. We have incompetent state engineers (Union job) that are not capable of drawing up proper specifications or can hold contractors responsible for sub par work. The contractor (In this case Union Co.)realizes this, puts extra men on the job to stand around and look busy, while a few men are showing the state engineer all the faults in the specifications and work that needs to be done to fix this bridge properly. The engineers have no clue and don’t care, so the Union Contractor bills the state of NJ 3 times the amount it would have taken to put a new bridge up after Sandy. Class dismissed… oh and class don’t forget that the state workers in this story move out of our state after they retire because NJ taxes are too high.

    the bridge is no longer visible from 5th Avenue as u approach Strolo’s …. NJDOT could put a bridge status indicator on 5th

    #8 – That is a great suggestion. No reason that a status indicator light should not be done as part of this project.

    I’ve been complaining about that situation since the new building went up. Very dangerous!

    #11-With proper planning, the town should have required the builder of that former Hampton’s property to add those additional safe guards.
