Why are MVC offices in flood plains?
Wednesday is the day when this column usually becomes a Q&A forum — often about the Motor Vehicle Commission — but with much of North Jersey still underwater, I’ve got a question of my own about an agency that so many reader love to hate:
Why are so many motor vehicle offices in flood plains?
This question is being asked as the people who entered the Wallington office early Tuesday were being shooed out the door to prevent them from being engulfed in the wet aftermath of Hurricane Irene. MVC offices in flood-prone Lodi, Paterson and Wayne were closed all day.
Why are these offices in Paterson, Lodi and Wayne?
Of all places, why in Wayne on Route 46 near the Willowbrook Mall, the retail capital of chronic New Jersey flooding? (Cichowski, The Record)
