Gloucester Town Council Approves Speed Limit Reduction and College Drive Plan Amendments
- Meeting Overview:
The Gloucester Town Council convened for a regular meeting, where notable decisions included reducing the speed limit on Lakeside Avenue and amending the College Drive Redevelopment Plan to permit new uses.
A notable decision was the adoption of an ordinance to lower the speed limit on Lakeside Avenue from 25 mph to 15 mph. This change is aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety along the stretch from Clifton Avenue to Pine Avenue. The ordinance, which went through its second reading, received unanimous approval from the council members present.
The council also approved an amendment to the College Drive Redevelopment Plan, allowing for motor vehicle wrapping in Unit A and boat wrapping in Unit B. This amendment is part of ongoing efforts to diversify and enhance business opportunities within the redevelopment area. The plan’s modification is aligned with the township’s broader economic development strategy.
In other actions, the council voted to vacate public rights to a portion of Cedar Lane, effectively transferring control of the area. This move is part of local infrastructure and land management adjustments.
During the meeting, a council member highlighted the achievements of local Little League teams, specifically recognizing the Blackwood team for their success at the state level and their participation in the Mid-Atlantic regionals. Additionally, upcoming community events such as National Night Out, scheduled for August 4th, were promoted, encouraging residents to participate in the festivities across various township locations.
