4 issues in roads with high priority
N. West Avenue resurfacing (Wheat Road to Garden Road)
The west side stretch of N. West Avenue is getting a fresh surface under a $929,931.35 contract with South State, Inc. Drivers should expect smoother pavement once work wraps.
2026 Road Program paving contract
The city hired Paving Plus, LLC for up to $2.39 million of milling, paving, base repair and striping, plus a $732,600 contract to resurface Industrial Way and DeMarco Drive. Expect paving work on local roads.
2026 Citywide Sidewalk Program
Several resolutions addressed major road work: a $2.66 million citywide drainage contract, Mill Road resurfacing agreements with NJDOT, design work for West Chestnut Avenue and South Mill Road, and $71,940 for linestriping. This affects commute routes and flooding issues across the city.
Lincoln Avenue traffic safety and David Development project
A resident criticized the lack of a traffic study for the proposed David Development on Lincoln Avenue, an already congested, high-accident corridor with studies projecting worsening conditions through 2040. She urged the city to push harder on infrastructure fixes before more accidents occur.
