Somerset County sets Oct. 28 public hearing for Greenbrook Road speed-limit ordinance
Summary
The county introduced Ordinance 25-1999 to lower the speed limit on a stretch of Greenbrook Road (CR 636) from 35 to 25 mph, set a public hearing for Oct. 28 at 6 p.m., and clarified the stretch runs 'from Rockview to Somerset' near a school.
The Somerset County Board of County Commissioners introduced Ordinance 25-1999, which would establish speed limits along Greenbrook Road (County Route 636) in North Plainfield Borough and set a public hearing for Oct. 28 at 6 p.m.
At the first-reading introduction, a commissioner asked which length of Greenbrook Road the ordinance would cover. A presiding speaker clarified, "this is a stretch from Rockview to Somerset," and stated the proposed speed limit would change from 35 mph to 25 mph. Commissioners noted the road runs by a school; one commissioner said the change would give motorists "a warning" and emphasized safety near the school.
The board moved to pass the ordinance on first reading and set the Oct. 28 public hearing at 6 p.m. The motion was seconded and recorded as passed in the meeting on first reading. The transcript does not include the ordinance text beyond the described limits and the hearing date.
Members of the public were invited to the scheduled hearing to comment; the board did not take final action on the ordinance at this session.
