Public safety chair seeks Glen Ridge input on county plans to upgrade five Bloomfield Avenue intersections
Summary
Councilor Hughes, public safety committee chair, told the council the committee reviewed county plans to upgrade five intersections along Bloomfield Avenue — including Bay and Ridgewood — and requested that borough staff provide input on improvements the borough would like to see incorporated.
Councilor Hughes, chair of Glen Ridge's public safety committee, reported at the meeting that county engineers are proposing upgrades at five intersections along Bloomfield Avenue and asked the borough to supply formal input.
Hughes said the committee discussed the intersections including the junctions at Bay and Ridgewood and emphasized the borough will offer suggested improvements for the county to incorporate into design plans. No formal vote was recorded on a policy position; the committee report asked staff to prepare and forward input to county officials.
The item was presented as an informational committee report rather than a resolution; council members did not take a separate recorded vote on specific design requests during the meeting. The chief noted ongoing coordination between local public-safety staff and county agencies for community events and street work.
Next steps: council staff were directed to prepare the borough's comments to the county's Bloomfield Avenue intersection upgrade proposal for review and submission.
