The Woodbridge Township Council meeting held on April 2, 2024, addressed several key issues, including traffic ordinances and public engagement protocols. The meeting commenced with a moment of reflection for a young boy from a neighboring town who recently passed away, emphasizing the community's solidarity during difficult times.
The council approved the minutes from the previous meeting and moved on to significant legislative matters. The first major topic was an amendment to Chapter 7 of the township's general ordinances, which sets a parking time limit on Oaktree Road.

Another important ordinance discussed was the approval of a traffic signal installed at the intersection of Inman and Delaware Avenue in Colonia. Similar to the previous ordinance, this measure was also adopted without public opposition.
The council then proceeded to introduce three additional ordinances, which were passed on first reading. These will be published for public review, with a public hearing scheduled for April 16, 2024.
In addition to the ordinances, the council approved 22 resolutions in a single motion, streamlining the decision-making process for various administrative matters.
The meeting concluded with an invitation for public comments, allowing residents to voice their concerns or suggestions. Participants were reminded of the guidelines for speaking, including a five-minute limit for each speaker.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's focus on traffic safety and community engagement, setting the stage for future discussions and decisions that will impact Woodbridge Township residents.
