Glassboro council introduces ordinance to rename Tucker Street to Rock Road

The Glassboro mayor and council introduced Ordinance 25-01 on Jan. 14 to rename Tucker Street to Rock Road in the borough.

During the regular meeting at Borough Hall, the borough solicitor presented the ordinance by title: "an ordinance of the borough of Glassboro, County of Gloucester, State of New Jersey, providing for the renaming of Tucker Street to Rock Road in the borough of Glassboro." Council moved for introduction and, after a roll-call vote, the motion carried. The ordinance was introduced for further consideration; the council did not adopt the ordinance at the Jan. 14 meeting.

Mayor Wallace presided over the vote. The solicitor read the ordinance title and invited council to move for introduction; council members voted in favor during the roll call. No public hearing or public comment on the renaming was recorded during the Jan. 14 meeting.

The council did not read or specify an effective date, change-of-address processes for affected residents, or details on signage and mapping updates during the meeting. Those procedural and implementation details were not provided in the transcript and remain to be scheduled as part of the ordinance's next steps.

The council is scheduled to meet next on Jan. 28, 2025, when further action on introduced ordinances could appear on the agenda.
