“legislation that pressures our own DOT to fill potholes caused by its own mismanagement”
from Assemblyman Kevin J. Rooney
“I hope that you and your family are enjoying the summer as we enter August. Soon, the back to school sales will begin and if you drive to work, the morning commute will get a bit longer again. Back to school also means there will be more cars on the road. This month, I would like to address something I have briefly mentioned to you previously: our crumbling infrastructure.

Glen Rock NJ, Glen Rock Mayor comments on Rock Road and Maple Ave road work ,”Please know that, for whatever it is worth, I share the frustration of residents who found it difficult or impossible to get to Rock Road at any time over the past few days while the milling was being done.
I was told that there would be access at all times though it might be difficult. My wife had to go to Fair Lawn to get to a Bank of America.
I find this unacceptable and can only assure you that I’m doing whatever I can to help the situation going forward and have asked the Borough employees who are coordinating the effort to help in our efforts to make this better going forward.”

“The county and local roads are only for gladiators and chariots.
Franklin Avenue was bombed out well before the faulty towers train side housing construction ..the roadway was crap before the trench cutting and utility chop and hot spackle treatment rather than a professional road repair so it is like demolition from town side franklin avenue to from the train station side of town . Shame..we deserve better no excuses .we are a broken town .local and county roads are beyond neglect and are dangerous to drivers ,pedestrians and bicyclists.ALL FACTS”
