Yated Ne'eman Lakewood section reports on the Master- Plan vote quoting Planning board members and other Lakewood Township officials. They are disturbed about the missing contingencies that were supposed to be included. "The public's opinion was unequivocally explicit that unbridled density should not be implemented we simply can not pass a plan that disregards this" a Planning board member tells the Yated. It is extremely frustrating to spend months working on solutions that would work for everyone, only to have it omitted from the plan another Planning board member told the Yated. "Additionally we would have never incorporated certain aspects of the plan had we known that the contingencies were going to be dropped "Density must be balanced" we looked into each meticulous detail of the areas where higher density was being proposed, and dealt with every road that has access to those areas. Removing restrictions or adding other areas of higher density effectively negates the whole purpose of the plan.The Planning board members indicate to the Yated that this is overwhelmingly the opinion of the board as a whole. The Planning board, asked for a clause to be inserted making the density hikes contingent on improvements to route 9, Cross street, Prospect street, James street, and Pine street It called for these streets to be brought up to a Level C which is the equivalent of constant traffic flow BEFORE the increased density takes effect. However the ordinances brought to the township committee omit any mention of James street, Prospect street,and Route 9. Even the streets mentioned Cross and Pine had the contingencies relegated to specific sections. Pine street from New Hampshire to approximately Vine street and Cross from Jackson only until Massachusetts completely disregarding the more heavily backed up segment that continues to route 9. There are other inconsistencies with the wording regarding the Eagle Ridge Golf club as well.
