What the council approved on Oct. 28 (roll-call outcomes as recorded in the meeting minutes):

- Resolution R-141-2025: Request to the New Jersey Department of Transportation for a six-month extension of the grant performance period for the King Street and Morrissey pedestrian-safety improvement project (extension requested because an easement from NJ Transit is needed) — adopted by roll call.

Notes: Vote tallies and roll-call names are taken from the meeting minutes transcript; the recorded spellings of some council members' names vary in the transcript. When the minutes record an abstention or other change, this roundup notes that the minutes show that vote rather than inferring additional details.
