Smart Shopping carts at Evergreen Kosher in Lakewood
The soon to open Evergreen kosher supermarket in Lakewood (perhaps as early as Tuesday of this week) will have smart Shopping carts that lock if taken out of the parking lot area. There are electronic wheel locking systems that make it possible. Its not purely mechanical. Either one or two wheels of the cart are called SmartWheels and have electronic locks embedded in them. Also a cable goes below the yellow boundary line which serves as an antenna to send out the signals. When the wheels reach the proximity of the yellow line (cable), the electronic lock in the smart wheel receives the signal and activates, thus stopping the cart.

LSTA Take checks and will send checks.
Lakewood Schools sent home letters informing parents of children who receive courtesy busing to pay the remaining balance to the LSTA. At the beginning of the school year the LSTA charged parents who are not mandated to pay $150 per child for the courtesy busing. At the same time Public school children who are not mandated are fully covered by Lakewood township with no fee for courtesy busing. Also February 1 is when the LSTA has to send out aid in lieu checks for all mandated children who did not have busing earlier and those that still don't have busing since September.

LSTA: Old errors in busing maps hurt Lakewood kids
This is not new, for years parents were challenging the routes with the BOE maps. Lakewood parents were shortchanged by paying in for courtesy busing and the township paying the costs of non mandated public school children.
Matzav.com Decade-Old Errors in Busing Maps Hurt Lakewood Kids.
In recent weeks, the LSTA has arranged transportation for hundreds of additional students, and is working feverishly to provide transportation for every single remaining student. Unfortunately, however, there are still approximately 500 who lack busing, and another approximately 1,500 who lack busing one way to school.
As the LSTA continues working on the matter, it made a shocking discovery.
In order to provide the most optimal service, the LSTA recently purchased “Versatrans” software that is used for school bus route mapping. The software, which has also been used by the public school district for years, came loaded with the maps that the district has been using for its busing. While training its employees in the new software, LSTA officials discovered that the district’s maps have not been properly updated since 2004 – over twelve years ago. Some of the information on the maps is significantly older than that as well.
“This may be costing Lakewood millions of dollars, and reflects a frozen bureaucracy,” remarks Rabbi Krawiec. “You can’t believe it unless you see it. We literally have bus routes going through people’s dining rooms.”
An even bigger issue is that many new schools have opened and others have changed locations during that time period. The LSTA has identified over 55 mapping errors regarding school locations alone. Forty schools were placed on the wrong side of the street. Five schools moved locations, but were not updated in the system. Yet others had the wrong pickup and/or drop-off location on the map.
This is a major contributor to the current school busing woes.
Of particular financial importance, the LSTA estimates that there are a large number of students, likely in the thousands, who have been improperly classified as being “non-mandated” by the BOE, since the distance from their home to school was improperly calculated. It is estimated that this improper classification has shortchanged Lakewood transportation funding for non-public school students by as much as $1 million a year or more. (Non-mandated students do not receive government funding. The “aid in lieu” funding for mandated nonpublic school students is directed by the new legislation to the LSTA Read more Here at MATZAV.COM

Letters to the Editor Re: shopping mall at Cedarbridge
JewishvoiceNY -2nd letter below
Opposed to Shopping Mall In Lakewood
Dear Editor;
I read with interest the letter (‘Financial Disaster for Lakewood Taxpayers,’ January 11) describing the controversial proposal for a large shopping center and entertainment facility in Lakewood, New Jersey. As a resident of Lakewood, I would like to clarify what lies behind the fierce opposition of many residents to this development.
Lakewood is home to a booming Jewish community. Beth Medrash Govoha is its flagship institution and wields an overwhelming influence on all aspects of life in town, including politics and religion. Many, including myself, have studied at the yeshiva before settling down in Lakewood and are therefore keen to see it succeed. In 2000, when the town granted the land in question to B.M.G. for development, it was located on the outskirts of town near an industrial park with no homes or businesses anywhere in sight. It seemed to be a win-win situation- the yeshiva would get a fundraising boost and the town would get a large new corporate park, without any negative impacts to the town’s residents.
Much has changed since then. The town’s population, which was about 60,000 in the 2000 census, has since doubled. The town changed its zoning to allow higher densities to accommodate the housing needs of its residents. That led developers to cram rows of townhouses in areas which did not have the infrastructure to handle that many new residents. Single family homes were demolished to make way for six or seven townhouses in its place. Many of the newly constructed houses weren’t made available to interested home buyers in Lakewood; instead, they were marketed to communities in New York which were encouraged to move en masse. The number of students in Lakewood’s private schools rose from about 5,000 in 2000 to over 27,000 in 2016 with the number of school buses on the town’s roads growing proportionally.
Traffic has ground to a halt. Stop and go traffic is the new normal. Parents driving their children to school in the morning can face an hour long trip on what would normally be a drive of a few minutes each way. The roads are woefully inadequate to handle the volume of traffic. On some roads, long lines of cars driving in opposite directions must wait to alternate driving down the narrow streets. The stress, frustration and waste of time has been growing. And so have the accidents. Tragedies on the roads are occurring on the roads at an alarming rate.
Many feel that something could and must be done to improve the situation. And many feel that placing a shopping mall -which is usually placed on major thoroughfares which can handle the traffic it attracts- directly on a residential street which is congested much of the day, will only exacerbate the situation.
While we empathize with the financial predicament B.M.G. has become entangled with, it must be recognized that Lakewood’s overcrowding and decline in the quality of life for its residents require urgent solutions.

Letter #2 JVNY
Financial Disaster for Lakewood Taxpayers
Dear Editor,
What began as a project to develop a corporate office park which would generate jobs and tax revenue for Lakewood Township has turned into a financial disaster for Lakewood taxpayers and a looming traffic nightmare for its residents. The plan was also to have helped create a long-term endowment for Beth Medrash Govoha, which owned Cedar Bridge Development Corporation, the developer of the site.
Lakewood designated Cedar Bridge Development Corporation as developer of the 240 acre site in June of 2000 and granted the corporation 240 acres of land at no cost as long as it developed the land. The grant was based on the ‘NJ Redevelopment Law’ which states that “land that is owned by the municipality that is not likely to be developed through the instrumentality of private capital” can be given to a developer for free.
In doing so, the township claimed that ‘the cost of providing infrastructure improvements to the premises approximates the fair market value of the land.” The agreement also stipulated that should the land not be developed as agreed within 10 years, the land with improvements would revert to the township.
Beth Medrash Govoha recruited some its prominent backers to join the corporation’s board, which included developers George Kline, Charles Kushner and Samuel Halpern. They hired Cushman & Wakefield, the commercial real estate service firm, to market the project, and invested millions in developing infrastructure for the property.
However, the project’s timing could not have been worse. When the dot-com bubble burst later in 2000, demand for office space plummeted. Financing for the project dried up and work on the project stopped abruptly.
Now a new plan has been submitted to the township Planning Board for approval. The plan, adjacent to what is now a bustling residential neighborhood, calls for a shopping center with a theater, an auditorium, a strip mall, housing along with office buildings. The plan has neighbors of the proposed mall up in arms. Residents of the neighboring senior community Pine River Village have hired an attorney to oppose the project and came to the Planning Board meeting to express their concern about the impact this project will have on the traffic on Pine Street which already congested.
Debra Tennenhaus talked about the frustration she has with the stop and go traffic on a daily basis. Sam Hirsch said ‘It impossible as is to drive up route 9. With this mega project Route 9 will become a parking lot.’ Amid the groundswell of public opposition to the plans, many hope that the township will deny the project and insist that the original agreement be upheld.
Sincerely,
Avraham Sharaby
