Residents urge Mahwah to expand traffic study and investigate poor cell service near Martis Place
Summary
During public comment on June 22 residents pressed the council for a wide traffic study of Martis Place and Reid Court and complained of inadequate cell service near Pond Meadows Condominiums. Township Engineer said the study will encompass the area; the mayor said he would contact the township cellular consultant to investigate.
Three residents used the public comment period at the June 22 Mahwah Township Council meeting to press the council on local transportation and cellular coverage concerns.
Donna Davino, who lives at 269 Martis Place, asked whether the planned traffic study would include streets beyond Martis Place and Reid Court. Township Engineer Michael Kelly replied that the study will include the entire area. Barbara Foley, of 43 Krinsky Court, told the council she is experiencing inadequate cell service in the area around Pond Meadows Condominiums. Mayor Jim Wysocki said he would contact the township’s cellular consultant, Declan O’Scanlon, to investigate coverage and potential remedies.
A third speaker, Mitchel Decan of 281 Martis Place, complained about the manner in which a councilman addressed traffic problems; Council President Robert M. Ferguson cautioned Councilmember Donigian to refrain from responding in public if legal issues were involved.
The engineer advised residents to consult the township website for scheduling information once the consultant produces a proposal for the overall traffic study. The council did not take formal action on the comments during the meeting; follow‑up by staff and consultant coordination were indicated.
