FYI... one of the biggest projects impacting our central E-W corridor in our region in decades.

Pls. consider attending one of the sessions and/or providing comments via their online form noted below.

The Mer. Twp. Transportation Commission has pushed hard for new mid-block pedestrian crossings with refuge islands in the center lane w/ ped activated signals and the last we heard they were being planned.
