Dear Neighbors,

I am glad to say that this Newsletter is finding such happy reviews from township residents.  It is meant to keep you up to date on current events around town and I have been complimented as to its contents.  I would also like to take this time to let you know that I am personally paying for this site and I am not taking direction as to the contents from any political party or group.  This newsletter needs to stand on its own and you need to spread the word.  Ask your friends and neighbors to visit and read the back issues and to subscribe to receive future newsletters.  Your email will NOT be shared with anyone else and you will NOT receive any spam from this site.

Save Ramblewood Flyer:  A flyer has been circulating asking people in Ramblewood to attend the next Township Council Meeting on Monday, August 6, 2007 - 8pm - to ask the Town Council to stop the County from constructing a driveway from the Church Street Shopping Center (WaWa) on to Ramblewood Parkway.  Even though the Township Council had informed the County that they do not want a driveway from this non residential use site - in to a residential area, the County has ignored this request and has informed Council that they will proceed.  This driveway is set to be an exit and entrance point to the shopping center.  Residents feel this will decrease their quality of life and lower their property value.  The County will require all traffic from the Center to use this driveway and only allow right hand turns in and right hand turns out from and on to Church Street.  All traffic heading North on Church Street, wishing to enter the shopping center, will be directed on to Ramblewood Parkway to enter the site.
The Flyer is also asking residents to attend the next Planning Board Meeting on Thursday, August 9, 2007 - 7pm - in regards to a MUA petition before the Board in regards to new construction at their Pennybridge location on Ramblewood Parkway.  Click here to read the flyer

Parks and Recreation:   Have you noticed the three fountains that are operating in the lake at Laurel Acres Park?  They are not there for looks only. Parks and Recreation Director Ralph Giangiulio has stated that he has been planning the fountains for a number of years now and he states that the installation of the fountains will reduce the amount of chemicals that are needed to reduce the algae in the lake. The fountains will not only be an eye pleaser, but they will help keep the lake healthy.  Now if only the fountains could do something about the geese...

Sincerely,
