Comments on: NJDOT: Keeping Up the Good Work http://blog.tstc.org/2007/10/31/njdot-keeping-up-the-good-work/ News and opinion from the Tri-State Transportation Campaign Sun, 21 Mar 2010 13:08:09 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Scott Olson http://blog.tstc.org/2007/10/31/njdot-keeping-up-the-good-work/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Scott Olson Wed, 31 Oct 2007 17:11:34 +0000 http://blog.tstc.org/2007/10/31/njdot-keeping-up-the-good-work/#comment-3 Great points and deserved praise on the Route 57 issue, but at the same time NJDOT is touting the "NJFIT program which coordinates land use and transportation" they refuse to budge on an egregious widening from two lanes to FIVE, at a cost of over $37 MILLION for a mile of pavement, as part of a Route 206 project in Byram Township. And this is being done under the guise and lies of a "safety exemption" from NJ Highlands regulations - NOT a widening and capacity increase project (which it really is) which would be denied by NJDEP. How about TSTC doing a piece on THAT for the next MTR? Thanks, and keep up the great work in NJ - Damien certainly set a high standard here and Zoe seems to be picking up right where he left off. TSTC rocks!
