FAA: On Oct 3rd, the Planning Board will vote on the Master Plan.
As part of the Master Plan, Lakewood needed to agree that the State will not provide funds to dualize Rt. 9 for the forseEable future!!
If we approve this plan, besides for creating terrible density and traffic, *we will by our own agreement be throwing away any chance of Rt. 9 ever getting widened!*
From the ordnance:
The township adopts an updated circulation element as part of its master plan, which includes a clear statement recognizing the states roads for conveying through rather than local traffic, providing access to local businesses on local roads, and acknowledging that the state does not have the funds to widen route 9 in the foreseeable future and that Lakewood should continue to investigate alternative North- south roadways to lessen the traffic congestion on Route 9.
