A meeting was held last week in Lakewood attended by officials from the State, NJTPA, Local township, BMG administration, and the Voice of Lakewood. The local residents will first have an opportunity to give their advice and recommendations at a meeting planned for July, once the plan has already been recommended. Several recommendations were made by officials who do not live or reside in Lakewood, among them providing Left turn lanes along Rt 9, diverting traffic to Cedar bridge and have RT 9 be a one way street for the stretch of roadway parallel to Cedarbridge Avenue. Widening Rt 9 which would take care of all problems is unfeasible at this point due to the tremendous investments and high costs involved in the project.
