NB Township Council Meeting 2/6/2006 7PM - B There or B Square
The Bennetts Lane issue has been treated like a national secret until SaveNewJersey.org started to publicize the development plan. They knew what was going on, so how come no one on the North Brunswick Township Council thought to tell its citizenry that Franklin was moving on a large scale development right in Brunswick Knolls' backyard?
How come it took efforts by two regular citizens who had the know-with-all and time to put up a website and distribute fliers about this development to everyone they could in order to get the word out? How come the NBT Council didn't start to react to the situation until people called and emailed them? Mmmmmmmmmmmm.......
Did they really think we wouldn't have cared about what happens across the street from our homes? That they are reacting to the situation, rather than confronting it? I know that Mayor Wommack has said he has been in contact with FT Mayor Brian Levine in Franklin and that Mac has attended Planning Board meetings. The problem is Mayor Levine is the only opposing voice on the Franklin Township Council on the development plan.
Where is the rest of the NB Township Council on the issue? I emailed the Council two weeks ago and received a reply from Mr. Andrews; his response was the Council is redoing the Master Plan and we'll do a traffic study! Is this a proactive stance? Only Cathy Nicola offered any encouragement on our efforts. Bob Davis responded back to my husband's open letter on the Blog criticizing the efforts of the Council, and we also heard from Rhonda Lyles. Both said that they've been working on this problem for months!
Questions should be asked of the North Brunswick Council people at the next meeting on Monday, Feb. 6 at 7pm on why they haven't been more actively opposing this development. Please come down and make sure you show the Council how you feel about this project.
