Planning board hears Bloomberg walking-path plan and transportation update on loop roads at 206/518
Summary
Board members heard a site‑plan update that Bloomberg will revisit the subcommittee about proposed walking paths and a recommendation for a sidewalk along Route 518; the transportation liaison described imminent loop‑road openings at the 206/518 intersection and public outreach.
At the June 8 meeting the Montgomery Township Planning Board received a Site Plan/Subdivision Committee update: Bloomberg presented preliminary plans to install walking paths on its property and the committee’s review memo recommended a sidewalk along Route 518. Sherry reported Bloomberg will consider the recommendation and is expected to return to the subcommittee for further review before a planning‑board hearing.
The transportation liaison described upcoming changes at the Route 206/518 intersection, including phased openings of connector roads, an initial opening at the Balmer Corner connector into the shopping center and a brief public‑education program (newspaper, social media and signage) to alert drivers to changed traffic patterns. Board members discussed temporary retention of some existing turning movements to give drivers an adjustment window and noted outstanding developer coordination on sidewalk width and access during construction.
No formal votes were taken on the Bloomberg site plan at this meeting; the item remains at the subcommittee stage.
