Here are some good news. If you are a homeowner in Morningside Road between Lakeside Ave. and Forest Ave., you can contact the Town Engineer's office at 973 857 4803 and ask for the REMOVAL of your "service road" (if you have one).That slab is a piece of concrete recently built over the grass area between the curb and the sidewalk. Two residents got the removal done already, it is free of charge and takes 10 minutes since construction is ongoing in the area.
At the last Council Meeting the authorities agreed on the fact that we do not need more concrete where a tree should be planted instead. Removing that unnecessary piece of concrete will facilitate planting new trees. Even if you have a public tree in front of your home already, that concrete surface is taking away root space and blocking rain water.
This was one of the points requested in the "No net tree loss petition". My question is, why the homeowners must request the removal of something that is not needed in the first place?
