Hoarding our road salt at MetLife Stadium, public safety on icy roads a public health hazard: Salt on our wounds, Jersey style
Read official Met Life brag sheet, below: “NJTA and NJDOT have the capacity to stockpile nearly 60,000 tons of salt within 30 miles of the stadium. Statewide, the storage capacity for both agencies jumps to 222,000 tons.” – official pr from state of NJ and Met Life Stadium
Thousands of pounds of precious and much needed road salt is sitting in East Rutherford at MetLife stadium, instead of being distributed to the hundreds of towns who have desperately begged for this life saving salt over the past few days here in New Jersey.
And, like a path of salt crumbs visible to all, this line leads from East Rutherford to Trenton.
The state Sports Authority, a department under the New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s command, controlled the MetLife organization and plans for road safety, including the wise decision to protect Super Bowl day from potential snow or ice threats to travelers.
But the Super Bowl, as we all know, was a warm day, well above freezing.
