Maplewood to revisit Parker plan July 9 (EPW) ahead of July 15 township vote; $270K–$275K estimated
Summary
Town staff said additional outreach and an engineering committee review are scheduled before a July 15 decision; the capital estimate for the corridor striping and crosswalk work is approximately $270,000–$275,000.
Township officials said the project will return to the engineering, public works and planning committee at 8 a.m. on July 9 and then to the full township committee on July 15, when members will vote on whether to proceed.
Vic DeLuca and other committee members reiterated that the roughly $270,000–$275,000 estimate is in the capital budget and that the proposed scope is primarily striping and signs, with selective curb ramps for accessibility. Officials said that if the township opts not to proceed, that money would remain in capital reserves and could be used for other striping or pedestrian improvements.
Committee members acknowledged resident concerns and said the decision is not irreversible; they pointed to the ability to monitor and adjust striping and signage and to add or remove treatments based on outcomes. Residents were encouraged to attend the July 9 and July 15 meetings and to continue submitting written feedback through official channels.
