Morristown, NJ —  During Morristown’s regular town council meeting three residents joined the chamber floor during the public hearing.

One resident spoke about his concern around scooter usage in town and the safety issues it poses. In response, Mayor Dougherty said he has seen adults riding electric bicycles at high speeds. The police chief and public safety director will let their force know to remind adults that they must ride on the street not the sidewalk for pedestrian safety.

Five resolutions were adopted unanimously during Tuesday evenings meeting. The council added a last minute resolution during the meeting which was discussed in a closed session. R-64-2024 effectively terminates the United States Postal Service contract for the purchase of 1 Morris Street.

Additional matters included the approval of a liquor license extension for the Iron Bar to include its sidewalk cafe.
