after completion of your comments or questions and the council or administration will then respond if necessary. Good evening. >> Hi, good evening. My name is Noel Mazar and I live at 46 Wickley Avenue.
And the reason that I uh wish to speak to you is that first I want to thank everyone who was involved in um the renovations of Zero Avenue
and they did take into account the issue of not being able to see cars coming towards Wickley Avenue towards the intersection of Wley Avenue. But as council person Sharon
knows that there was recently a nice big giant accident right across the street from right at the intersection of Wickley Avenue. And I have noticed and I have noticed often that even though
rumble strips and 25 mile hour notice has been placed on the street that has not stopped cars flying down circle on their way to Metler
to the point where twice I have almost been hit by a gray minivan coming traveling I guess it's
it's south on Zer towards Metler's lane and the reason besides the speed of the minivan And the reason that I had almost been hit is that after stopping at Wickley Avenue at the stop sign and
looking all different ways, I could not see up circle due to the fact of three cars parked on the side of Zer Avenue. And it
is dangerous. It is dangerous. And I'm hoping that the administration can do something about the cars that are parked there. They're right above or right next to the culvert
that was replaced a few years ago. And they just persistently park. And when you're pulling up to the stop sign and you're looking up circle. It's impossible
to see if there's a car coming in the dip of that street. And if they're moving at any speed, know they typically do 40 45 miles an hour coming down that road. No,
often no cars do the speed limit, but there are a lot of cars that just fly down circle and know it wouldn't be so bad. Well, it still wouldn't be bad, but it wouldn't be so bad if
those cars weren't parked there because the sight triangle is non-existent. You can't see cars coming to Zer Avenue towards Metler's Lane. Thank you very much.
>> Thank you, sir. >> Just just so everybody knows and Councilwoman Carmichael knows, we've asked the police department take a look at that. Uh, one of the drawbacks if we say no parking out there, that means no parking the entire length, which means
nobody nobody would be able to park 365 days a year out there. And that means that parents go to uh wait for their kids at the school bus there. There's a school bus stop, they wouldn't be able to do that. So there we could we could do an ordinance on first reading police department. I'm going to just let you know there's probably going to be some
blowback from the residents there. I mean, I I don't I have a problem doing that. Uh but the other the other issue is most of that speeding that's happening probably 95% of the folks that live in the immediate neighborhood.
>> Well, yeah, that's that's right. >> It's not a through through street area. So, it's the homeowners that live immediately right there doing >> Mr. Mayor. That's an empty lot there on the right. Like >> held. >> Privately held. But there's not a house
right at the corner, right? >> That's like a barn, isn't it? Like a barn garage. Is that what I'm >> privately held? Just one of the concerns from the police department is that parents go have a
school bus or this that and the other thing. So the question I have is is that is there any way to create a um where you can there would be no parking so many hundred feet off the intersection only
>> engineering department. >> Why not? >> They don't want parking at all out there. >> Well, could could we just yellow stripe that corner? Well, right. But like at the top of um
Mitchell, we did that from one section, not the whole side. Maybe they could look at that >> signage out there. >> Sign. Yeah. I mean, no doubt you have to. Right. But you could yellow I I mean, I hate the yellow stripe on the thing, but um
Oh, they have the Belgian block. They don't have the um You can't do it on Belgian. Well, let's let's have the police take a look at it and see. Is there also a way to the >> Yeah, Wiggly and Z.
>> That's the triangle, right? >> That's right at the tip of the triangle. They're slowing down right now since they're some of the jobs are going on hold for the winter. This is when they do a lot of the survey work. Now, >> just so Mr. Mer know that we're still we
finished the engineering design for um Morris Lane. Um we've been held up for almost three years with land acquisition out there for easements and that were midway through the design on Wickley Avenue. So, don't complain when we fix the road
if they're speeding on Wickley. All right. >> Thank you, Mr. Mer. We'll look into this. >> I would just like to have you maybe think about a stop sign on Zero at Wickley that where people would have to stop. That way they won't be
>> I'm sorry. Do you want to make this your official three minutes? Just state your name and address and then you can just talk. >> Okay. I'm Sheila Mazar. where I live at 46 Wickley Avenue in Piscataway. >> Thank you. >> And it was just part of the an idea that
came when we were discussing. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Okay. I see no one else. Um for the in-person attendees, closing for the inerson attendees. I have a motion to adjurnn.
>> Motion. Good. Any opposed? Meeting adjourned. Thank you so much. Have a good evening. >> Thank you. Good night. >> Have a good night.
