County Seat Traffic Shift Proposed By VINCE CONTI COURT HOUSE – Middle Township is moving ahead with a grant application to redirect traffic patterns in the area of Mechanic Street and Hand Avenue. The Middle Township Committee was told of that plan by Municipal Engineer Vincent Orlando at an Aug. 20 meeting. In July, the township held a public hearing as it prepared an application for the state streetscape grant program. That well-attended meeting demonstrated broad support for any attempt to deal with traffic and parking difficulties in the area. Views were mixed on the proposal to shift the traffic on Mechanic Street to one way heading west and on Hand one way headed east. According to Orlando that shift in traffic flow is incorporated in the transportation grant proposal submitted by the municipality. The proposal calls for creating a traffic loop by converting Mechanic Street to one-way traffic in a westerly direction to Magnolia Drive (Reading Avenue). Angled parking on one side of Mechanic

would replace parallel parking on both sides of the street. Mechanic Street would also see wider sidewalks and the development of community spaces for pedestrians near the County Library headquarters. A “share-the-road” bike program would link the redesigned area to the township’s bike path. On Hand Avenue, traffic would also be converted to one way heading east toward Main Street. A traffic light would be installed at the Hand Avenue and Main Street intersection. Traffic patterns on Boyd Street would remain as they are currently. Bump outs would be used at select crossings on Mechanic and Main streets to encourage safe pedestrian traffic in the downtown area. The grant proposal highlights township plans for safety improvements on Mechanic Street, the beatification of the downtown space and improved parking in the congested area near the Superior Court complex. At the public meeting in July, issues of beautification and wider pedestrian walkways took a

distant second place to the focus on traffic flows and parking. While many who spoke supported the creation of the new traffic loop resulting from the one-way flow on Mechanic and Hand, several argued that the flow on Mechanic Street should be easterly leading to the existing parkway entrance. The thrust of the design move to have traffic on Mechanic Street flow west signaled a desire to have the project encourage flow into the downtown areas rather than facilitate its flow out. The traffic light at Hand and Main is meant to allow easy access to Main Street and the required turns necessary to get to the parkway entrance. The proposed transformation of the heavily-used blocks in the heart of Court House, the county seat, is part of a broader township agenda supporting economic redevelopment and rehabilitation along large portions of the Route 9 business corridor from Court House through to and including Rio Grande.

to four weeks, making the introduction of vehicles on the beaches after Labor Day a problem for the colony. Stone Harbor’s municipal code establishes an elaborate and regulated process for vehicles on the beaches. Permits are required, and rules dictate what can and cannot be done even when a permit is obtained. For beaches north of 122nd Street the earliest date for which a permit can be obtained is Oct. 1, presumably to allow for humans to continue enjoying spectacular days at the shore. For beaches from 122nd Street south, the ordinance allows permits beginning the day after Labor Day. In both cases, north and south, the end date for permits is March 15. This year the skimmer colony needs the south-end beaches for a bit longer than usual. Even though there is every expectation that the remaining eggs will hatch any day, the requirement to allow up to four weeks before the birds can fly led to the request that council adopts an Oct. 1 date for vehicle permits in the south end. Council agreed. To contact Vince Conti, email vconti@cmcherald.com.

Sutherland advised that an individual charged with a first-degree crime, (money laundering) can be sentenced to 10-20 years in state prison.
