RFTS seeks to draw attention to and provide factual information about undesirable consequences from heightened traffic at a massive Millburn Ave. supermarket development. Our goal is to inform local residents and have them voice their concerns.
RESIDENTS FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY ® MILLBURN & SPRINGFIELD, NJ, ,
UPDATE
December 9, 2012 letter published by Millburn-Short Hills Patch:
About 20-25 residents attended the Residents For Traffic Safety forum on Thursday, November 29 to express their concerns, ask questions, and offer their ideas regarding the Stop & Shop development planned to be built on Millburn Avenue.
Generally, the comments centered around public safety and lowering of the quality of life in the area due to the greatly increased car and truck traffic that the supermarket will draw. As resident Mary Fran Johnson stated, ”I can’t believe that an additional 6,000 cars a day would NOT have an impact on the quality of our neighborhood and town.”

Make your voice heard at the May 6 Zoning Board meeting.
Stop & Shop is expected to submit new information due to the inadequacies of its traffic study. This is the flawed and incomplete report that Stop & Shop’s planner cited when he testified on April 8 that the “the design as proposed will not cause a substantial traffic impact.”
RFTS believes this claim should be regarded with great skepticism, bordering on disbelief. See our Letter to the Editor in The Item of Millburn & Short Hills and bring your questions to the May 6 meeting.
Numerous questions about the inadequacies of Stop & Shop's traffic study highlighted the January 28 and April 8 meetings of the Zoning Board. ● RFTS reports on the session. (details)
