Mahwah Council bans U‑turns on two streets, accepts culvert easement and adopts $3 million bond ordinance
Summary
The Township Council adopted Ordinance No. 2080 to prohibit U‑turns on Martis Place and Reid Court, accepted a permanent deed of easement for a culvert replacement (Ordinance No. 2081), tabled a second culvert easement (2082) and adopted Bond Ordinance No. 2083 appropriating $3,000,000 for capital improvements.
At its Feb. 5 meeting the Township Council adopted a traffic ordinance to prohibit U‑turns on Martis Place and Reid Court and approved a permanent deed of easement tied to a culvert replacement project on Fardale Avenue.
The Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance No. 2080 after a short public hearing; Council President Robert M. Ferguson called the roll and each member (Ariemma, Donigian, Ervin, May, Paz, Wong and Ferguson) voted yes on second reading for the measure intended to protect public health, safety and welfare.
The Council also adopted Ordinance No. 2081, accepting a permanent deed of easement from Natalia Pierog and Adam Witkowski for Block 162 Lot 232 (150 Fardale Ave) to permit the culvert replacement project to proceed. A companion easement tied to Lot 233 (Ordinance No. 2082) was tabled to the Feb. 19 Council meeting because required easement documents had not yet been executed.
In separate action the Council adopted Bond Ordinance No. 2083, which appropriates $3,000,000 for various capital improvements and authorizes $2,850,000 in bonds or notes to finance part of the appropriation. That measure passed on second reading by unanimous roll call.
Council members said the culvert replacement work and traffic‑safety changes reflect ongoing infrastructure maintenance and safety priorities; staff were directed to complete necessary paperwork with the State and to secure any required certifications from the Township Engineer.
