Just what we need, two psudo department stores with overpriced merchandise across the street from each. Also, can't wait for the traffic nightmare to begin.

Really? When did they slip this one by us. Was it brought to the township's residents for discussion by the planning board or was it another back room deal by our politicians without full consideration of the impact on the quality of life of those living in the area? Was a traffic study done? Traffic at that major intersection is already problematic with the BP station. I can't tell you how many times drivers in the left turn only lane go straight causing accidents or near misses as well as those stopping abruptly to turn into the gas station. Imagine that compounded by those wanting to turn into Walgreens. I can't even imagine where the driveway would be placed as any direction will be problematic including coming around Maple Ave. from Meisel. God save us from the foolish decisions the politicians continue to make in this town.

Are you related to Doug and Wendy Whiner ? You big cry babies ! A big empty dirt lot was much better for the town. Why don't you move out so we can keep making positive change instead of what has been done in the past !
