SOMERSET COUNTY TO HOST VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING FOR ROADWAY SAFETY STUDY ON SEPT. 29

A flyer for the Roadway Safety Study public meetingSOMERVILLE, NJ –  Residents are invited to join the second virtual public meeting presented by the Somerset County Planning Division to learn more about the draft Roadway Safety Study’s recommendations and to provide input about the recommendations. The goal of the study is to identify safety issues for vehicle and pedestrian roadway crossings, bicycle paths, and green infrastructure for stormwater management. The virtual public meeting, to be held on Wednesday, Sept. 29, from 7 to 9 p.m., will focus on five county roadways that have been identified as areas that may need safety improvements and potential solutions for the implementation of those improvements. Preregistration is required.

“This meeting provides residents with the opportunity to provide feedback about potential important safety improvements,” said Somerset County Commissioner Deputy Director Sara Sooy, North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority liaison. “Residents’ feedback will be thoughtfully considered when final decisions are made about safety improvements.”

After a brief presentation, residents will have the opportunity to provide input in seven breakout rooms where small group discussions will occur about each roadway and proposed safety improvements.  Pre-registration is required to join one of the following seven breakout groups:

  • Finderne Avenue/Main Street in Bridgewater Township
  • Franklin Boulevard in Franklin Township
  • Greenbrook Road in North Plainfield Borough
  • Somerset Street in Raritan Borough
  • Main Street in Millstone Borough
  • Spanish Language group
  • General Group to discuss broad transportation topics

To pre-register, visit the registration page. Residents who cannot attend the virtual meeting can submit comments online or email SCroadwaysafetystudy@co.somerset.nj.us. For those who have special-need and need assistance, contact Jessica Ortiz at 917-933-7440, or email jortiz@fhiplan.com.

For more information contact Director Walter C. Lane, AICP/PP at 908-231-7021 or email PlanningBd@co.somerset.nj.us.
