Several residents used Sayreville's public-comment periods to press the borough for repairs and upgrades to local parks and infrastructure, and council members directed staff to inspect sites and provide follow-up.

Natalia Krizhevsky, who lives on Burrell Square, asked the council to consider a perimeter walkway at Jackson Avenue Park and said Kennedy Park could benefit from more trees and more frequent cleanup of goose droppings. "It would be a good idea to establish like a walkway path in that park," she said, citing mental-health and wellness benefits.

Taylor Donnelly of Mohawk Lane raised stormwater and sewer concerns after heavy localized rainfall, asking whether the borough has plans to upgrade storm and sanitary infrastructure to handle increased demand from new development. Mayor and council members said the borough owns its water and sewer systems and that upgrades are handled in longer-term capital planning and typically occur when roads are opened for reconstruction. A council member noted engineers are working on perennial trouble spots and that major development projects will be required to upgrade underground infrastructure where needed before building permits are issued.

Nut graf: Residents raised multiple nonagenda items tied to everyday quality of life'park amenities, geese at Kennedy Park, elevator accessibility at borough hall, recurring street flooding in low-lying neighborhoods and upgrades to the local dog park. Council responded with directions to staff to inspect the specific sites and to report back.

On the parks items the mayor asked the public-works supervisor to examine Jackson Avenue Park for a walkway and noted the borough has repeatedly planted trees in Kennedy Park but that trees often fail there because of clay soil and saturation. On the goose problem the mayor described prior approaches used by the borough including egg-oiling and trained dogs to disperse flocks; he said those methods can reduce but not eliminate the geese.

On the dog-park request a resident asked about turf or other improvements; council asked the resident to leave contact information with the clerk and said the borough would consider options. On elevator access and the meeting's Zoom policy, public commenters expressed concerns about public access; the mayor and council said the building elevator and accessibility questions would be addressed with the clerk and facilities staff.

Ending: Councilmembers instructed staff to inspect the specific park, drainage and dog-park locations and to return with options; several speakers urged continued public engagement and said they would follow up with staff on specific proposals and contact information.
