Hollywood Avenue Project Moves Forward.

The Borough Council recently voted unanimously to set aside $122,000 for the Hollywood Avenue project.  The money will be put toward preparing and submitting a feasability application to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

The plan, which replaces the now-defunct Helen Street project, takes truck traffic off residential streets. 

The Borough's truck-route committee has been working on the plan since it was formed in early 2008.  Before that, the Helen Street project had been on the drawing board for more than a decade but ran into environmental roadblocks.  During that time, Borough resident Jake Cataldo had been urging the council to abandon the project in favor of a shorter route down Hollywood Avenue.
