County representatives told Action News they are particularly concerned about traffic issues and pedestrian accidents at Rowan University along Rt. 322.
As local and county officials look to move forward with plans for a proposed Route 322 bypass in Glassboro, New Jersey, residents in the borough are expressing concerns.
According to the county, there have been 15 pedestrian and bicycle crashes reported along Rt. 322 over the past three years.He said the county's solution is a two-part plan. The first piece, he said, is to create a truck bypass that will get traffic off 322.He said that the second piece would involve creating a parallel road between Girard Road and the rail corridor that would continue along High Street to Route 47/Delsea Drive.
There was no traditional meeting, however, which led to some heated moments as frustrated residents pressed Glassboro Mayor John Wallace to answer their questions. "The county brought all of the visual documentation about the bypass to try to dispel any misconceptions," the mayor told Action News. However, Beckett said county officials haven't determined if they will have to use eminent domain to acquire any properties in the path of the project."They are saying they won't need to take our house, and that there is enough room to run Girard and 322 between our sidewalk and the railroad track," Laurie Holland said. "They are saying at the moment it wouldn't impact, but who knows.
