Twp. of Washington NJ, Mayor Peter Calamari explained in a Facebook post of the feasibility and logistics of returning commuter parking to the vicinity of the Emergency Services Building in Twp. of Washington .
I want to update everyone on the status of commuter parking. We are discussing the options for the location next to the Emergency Services Building, relocating the Fire Memorial, and establishing an Ambulance Corps Memorial. Engineering studies are taking place, meetings are being held and ideas are being vetted.
A plan for commuter parking was not included as part of the new ESB because at the time of securing the funding and working out the logiatics for the firehouse, there were different ideas and proposals in the air from the private sector for commuter parking. The old firehouse was in critical condition and we could not wait for those ideas before starting work on the new building.
Unfortunately, at this time, none of those private sector plans have moved forward or come to fruition. And the old firehouse will soon be coming down and removed from the property. So now is the time to act on providing this much needed and requested amenity. Therefore we are moving forward with the feasibility and logistics of returning commuter parking to the vicinity of the Emergency Services Building.
Thank you
Mayor Peter Calamari
