Make Downtown Millburn the Best Downtown in the USA!
The Millburn Complete Streets project is a critical program for the safety and future of our downtown. The first Phase of Complete Streets is now nearing completion and the design development presentation for Phase 2 has been presented to the Township Committee and public for review.
Without moving forward with Phase 2, the Complete Streets project will remain incomplete, resulting in indefinite partial renovation of our downtown, continued safety concerns and mismatched dilapidated streets and sidewalks in the areas otherwise slated for Phase 2 improvements. It will create an unfair competitive advantage to the storefronts that deserve the same investment in downtown infrastructure that the Township provided with Phase 1. The Millburn Complete Streets project is a comprehensive program whose benefits cannot be fully realized with a partially completed downtown. Construction is temporary, the benefits are invaluable to our downtown’s long term health and prosperity.
The objectives of the Millburn Complete Streets project are clear – Pedestrian safety, traffic calming and downtown vitality through infrastructure improvements – and the Phase 1 results are outstanding. Millburn residents must consider the future of our township and our ability to compete with our surrounding downtowns. We must consider the alternative to taking action – which is to remain stagnant as a downtown, continue the cycle of deterioration and allow our infrastructure to decline at the expense of safety, vitality and long term viability. That’s not progress – and our exceptional Township deserves better.
Get educated on the Millburn Complete Streets project and support your local officials and agencies who are working hard to ensure the best interests of our Township.
