Resident urges action on driveway sinking and flooding; mayor outlines engineered fixes tied to Old Orchard project
Summary
A resident, Ricky Voss, told the council his driveway is sinking and his property is degrading; mayor and staff described engineering visits, a plan to redirect storm drains through the Old Orchard site and capital-budget funding for Reynolds Drive paving and stormwater work.
Resident Ricky Voss addressed the council to report long‑running problems with a sinking driveway and property degradation tied to stormwater flow. Voss said the condition has worsened and showed concern for ongoing damage; he reported repeated interactions with the borough and asked for follow-up.
The mayor and staff said the town’s engineer has visited the area multiple times and that money for Reynolds Drive improvements was placed in last year’s capital budget. The mayor explained that when the Old Orchard site is constructed, the borough plans to redirect storm drains through that development and repave Reynolds Drive; he also said the borough will continue individual follow-up with the resident and asked Voss to share photos and contact information so DPW and the engineer can coordinate repairs.
“Ricky Voss. We're Free Running Drive, Eatontown,” Voss said in public comment; the mayor responded with a description of the planned drainage redirection and an offer to continue the conversation offline.
