The Lakewood master plan committee will finally meet tonight Monday May 8 at 6 PM and will adopt the recommendations and reports of the sub committees. As of the township posting the Density subcommittee will not have its report ready in time for the meeting. There is speculation, if this is a delaying tactic or a move to keep the public from commenting on the final density report. In a letter posted below courtesy of First amendment activist, Mayor Coles asks master plan chairman and members to evaluate "where or if higher density is appropriate for Lakewood". It appears to be giving the green light to add density in some areas. Committeeman Akerman did not sign on to the letter.
