I Oppose the Allen Road Project

I oppose The Allen Road Project.

I support the Zoning Board of Adjustment's wise decision to deny the application for this project. The Allen Road Project is not right for Bernards and has far too many negative impacts on our community. Therefore, I strongly oppose it.

I support responsible redevelopment of obsolete office properties, but redevelopment must make sense for the location, surrounding neighborhoods, traffic patterns and the long-term charm of Bernards Township. We should not accept development simply because a property needs a new use.

Residents have invested enormous time and effort raising legitimate concerns about this proposal. They deserve to be heard and their views respected.

We can welcome economic development without accepting every development proposal that comes before us. The Allen Road Project is not the right project for this location.
