What’s with the arrow? Why is it pointing to the right? How come it doesn’t say Democrat on it? Who dosen’t include the party they belong to on a political lawn sign? Probably just a rookie mistake, but it’s a glaring one.
“On Sunday, April 26th, my colleagues and I on the Maplewood Township Committee joined SOMA bicycle riders to cut the ribbon that officially opened Maplewood’s first dedicated bike lanes on Parker Avenue.
I chaired hours of community meetings during which we heard many views, answered questions, and received valuable suggestions. In the end, the Township Committee came up with a plan that balanced the needs of bicycle riders, Parker Avenue residents, the Maplewood Jewish Center, Columbia High School, pedestrians and drivers.
The combination of bike lanes, improved pedestrian crossings and the introduction of a four-way stop at Suffolk & Parker is a great example of a complete streets approach to planning and design.
The Township Committee is now planning a complete streets design for the entire length of Prospect Street. Zoom meetings are scheduled for April 28th and May 4th at 7pm.
Later this year, the Committee will focus on Dunnell Road with the installation of bike lanes to the train station.” - Vic De Luca
