More Park & Seventh Details

Stop! Don't worry about the striping on potholes. There is a reason why. Because the intersection was receiving new lights , the striping had to be done for traffic safety.

This damaged portion of the street must be repaired by New Jersey American Water. The county issued a street opening permit that is backed by bonding to assure restoration of the road and in this case, new striping.

On Friday morning county official Paul Leso said the old poles would be removed and by the time I made my way to Twin City for groceries, they were gone.

The remaining bases of the poles were jack-hammered out and in days to come, the sidewalks will be fixed.

Infrastructure is not a sexy topic, but for the hundreds of pedestrians and thousands of drivers who go through the Park & Seventh intersection, I suspect these improvements are warmly welcomed.
