Is this the future of all intersections in Lakewood?
When our own Committee members become involved with builders and special interests, they abandon all reason and common sense when it comes to providing the correct planning before building more developments. When politics gets in the way of common sense we end up with frustrated taxpayers confronted with an inferior quality of life that can lead to dangerous scenarios. A committee needs to have the safety and the needs of the residents in mind only. Doing favors for monetary gain, or being involved as partners is not acceptable. Doing favors for those that may ensure their political future as they remain in their comfortable seats while benefitting from our frustration should not be allowed. The time has come to stop complaining. The next time you are stuck for half an hour on a road that was not made for the traffic it now must endure, ask yourself whether you will allow this to  continue.

    That's why the moshiach will be coming with a donkey, to get through the man made congestion. We are our own worst enemies. Who is behind the cause & effect? When ever in doubt-always follow the money trail.

    Ladies & Gentlemen:
    Say good bye to Oak Street while you still can. With all the development planned for for that nice tree lined road, it's bound to end up like Pine Street. Pine Street used to be a dream, 1 minute from Route 9 to New Hampshire. Now? A total nightmare & just getting worse as soon as the barns in that new place go up.

    The Establishment would not allow anyone else to open another Mokom Torah (mir-sloatsburg) They want all the Power Control Kovod and Money so everyone who wants to leave Brooklyn has only one place to go Lakewood
