The Issue

There is only one issue.
 To get Route 9 widened to 4 lanes. Now!
 
We can accomplish this with the support of the citizens of Dover, Lakewood and Ocean County at large.  This is not a political issueit is a quality of life issue.
 
The New Jersey  Department of Transportation (DoT) has neglected Route 9 in Ocean County for decades.  WHY?
 
The DoT spends an average of $324 per person state wide but only $94 in Ocean County. WHY?
 
At an August 17, 2005 meeting of the Dover Township Planning Board NJ DoT officials suggested that The township should explore more creative ways to move traffic . They stated that widening Route 9 would be THROWING GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD. WHY?
 
Thoes same officials also suggested that we encourage WALKING as one solution to our traffic problems on Route 9;  WHY?
 
Our Mission is to compel the NJ Department of Transportation to stop the neglect of the citizens of Dover and Lakewood Townships and those of all other municipalities in Ocean County.
