Edgewater Park and the New Cooper St Street Lamps (Guest Post)

Compare the street lighting job done by our neighboring towns to the new street lighting job done in Edgewater Park

I can't think of a better example showing our township government at its finest. Just take a ride down Cooper St at night and you will see a prime example of how they have mismanaged our town during the past several years, starting with the Coat Factory Deal, remember how that deal was going to lower your property tax?

To see what I am talking about, you just need to ride through our neighboring towns that received street scape funding; Delanco, Riverside, Burlington, Mt. Holly, Riverton, Palmyra, Moorestown, Maple Shade, Medford, Bordentown and Medford just to name a few. 

Please tell me why these towns managed to do an attractive job with the grant funding they received, for their street scape projects?

I am a naturally positive person, but I think the botched job we received is indicative of many decisions made by our township government. Even the Coat Factory did a much better job with the placement and uniformity of the street lamps they placed along their property.

I hope (I am an optimist) that the newer members of the present township committee, begin to exercise the common sense and good management abilities I know they have and get this town back to being a good place to raise a family and sponsor a boccie ball tournament at the new boccie ball courts (such a local demand for this sport).

It is scary!  If I were an author of fiction, I couldn't make this stuff up for this blog story.

Our Township Officials showing their common sense skills

I hope these visual images, stir you, the taxpaying voters, to think about the people running our town and the impact their decisions have on your property tax and property value.
