The plan, which was discussed and moved to adoption without public questions, is set to bring about transformative changes, although specific details of the plan were not elaborated upon during the session.

Traffic updates also took center stage as the council reviewed and passed multiple ordinances related to traffic control. One notable change is the installation of a new traffic light at the intersection of Rahway Avenue and Homestead Avenue, which is anticipated to improve traffic flow and safety. Additionally, on Main Street, a new traffic light with a left-hand turn signal has been installed, prompting a modification that will no longer permit left-hand turns at a specific entrance, as mentioned during the council’s exchange.

The council also prepared for the upcoming Juneteenth celebration, which is expected to bring the community together with music, food, and entertainment.

In terms of community services, the council highlighted the Greenway Family Success Center’s upcoming ice cream and book giveaway event, as well as various summer programs for children and families.

Moreover, the meeting included discussions on a range of community events and services, from free concerts and theater performances to senior movie times and outdoor pool openings.

The council concluded the meeting by addressing several administrative matters, including tax overpayments and a proposal for storm sewer and drainage improvements on Clyde Avenue.
