Gridlock Traffic as Officials are AWOL

Again Central Avenue in Lakewood is a parking lot during the morning commute while township committee members are not seen or heard from as they hide from the public.

Submitted: Tuesday morning central ave insane traffic. Where is Ray Coles Menashe Miller or Meir Lichtenstein??? Why is there construction during peak rush hour?? Causing so much lost time at work and school for everyone. Time for change get rid of those that destroy our lives!!!

Gridlock traffic along Central Avenue has become a daily issue, with construction work starting before 10:00 a.m. during the peak morning commute hours. This has resulted in significant delays of up to 45 minutes, causing residents to miss work, students to be late for yeshiva, and children arriving late to school. Despite numerous complaints from the community, township officials have not taken any action to address the problem. Instead, they have shifted the blame to county and state authorities, refusing to acknowledge their responsibility in managing the situation. This ongoing disruption is causing considerable frustration among local residents, who feel their concerns are being ignored by the very officials they rely on to address these issues.

  1. Can you please post this in Lakewood Shopper instead of here? Getting the word out will help change our voting patterns next time around. Perhaps the community will come to realize they shouldn't blindly trust the vaad endorsements....

  5. Lakewooders love traffic—they even named a street after the engineer who repeatedly testified that all this development wouldn’t cause additional congestion, that there’s plenty of parking, and so on.

    And clearly, the community agrees, because they keep voting in the same people who endorse it all.

    It’s too late for Lakewood, but Jackson, Howell, Toms River, Brick, and beyond—beware. You’re next.

  10. The paid and bought off media is complicit in covering up for the corrupt reckless politicians
    The deep state is real
    They could care less about quality of life or bittul Torah and agmas nefesh to thousands of yiddin on a daily basis
    Yet show their chazer feesel how good they are with fake PR articles and photo ops.we are in Galus fun unzereh.
    They keep lying and fooling us to enrich themselves and stay in power
    Such disgust behavior
    Not one mature Rav can get up publicly and call out what is happening to local residents daily?
    No one feels accountable as thousands of kollel youngeleit sit for 2 hours in traffic?

    They came down strong against hatzolas nefashos but the daily suffering of tens of thousands don't seem to bother anyone.

    They went all out for the free tuition hoax but now crickets

    Detour through surrounding towns, show some life there too.

  15. Keep on voting hr same people back into office because when election day comes the VAAD puts on a good PR show with raaabonim endorsing cadidates who will keep the traffic the same or worse
