County hosts Public Information Session in Tinton Falls
Residents
and County officials discuss next steps
TINTON FALLS, NJ – On Aug. 1, the County of Monmouth held a Public
Information Session regarding the Concept Study for the Hope Road and Hance
Avenue intersections with Sycamore Avenue in the Tinton Falls Borough Hall.
More than one
hundred residents and local officials attended the session hosted by Freeholder
Director Thomas A. Arnone and Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry.
“I was pleased
with the progress we made last night while speaking with the residents of
Tinton Falls,” said Director Arnone. “Listening
to the concerns and suggestions of those who live in the area will help us
develop a plan that will maintain the high quality of life these residents
deserve while, at the same time, improving the safety of the intersection. The
County’s plan is still very much conceptual in nature with room to change after
listening to many different suggestions last night. I look forward to
continuing an open dialogue with the residents of Tinton Falls.”
Every one that
attended the meeting was offered an opportunity to speak at the meeting and
voice any concerns or offer insights and suggestions for the future of the
intersection.
“There were certainly misconceptions about the current status
and future plans of the intersection that needed to be discussed,” said Deputy
Director Burry. “The County has always looked to the municipalities to relay
the sentiments of their residents. There needs to be better communication
between the public and Tinton Falls council moving forward.”
“The next steps are contacting the
NJ Department of Transportation Commissioner regarding speed limits and taking
everyone’s thoughts and ideas into consideration as County Engineers work on
creating a plan for the intersection,” added Director Arnone.
