Controversial Somerville townhouse plan returns with 34 homes

SOMERVILLE – A controversial plan to build 34 townhouses on the western border of the borough , now part of Somerville's affordable housing plan, will return this month to the borough's Planning Board. Bell Avenue Holdings LLC is scheduled to appear before the board Nov. 12 with a proposal to build 34 townhouses at 6-10 Bell Ave. in three buildings. Twenty-eight units would be sold at market rate, while six would be set aside as affordable units. In March, the Borough Council, following Planning Board review, formally adopted a plan to meet its affordable housing obligation for the next decade by zoning for development on Bell Avenue and Mountain Avenue . No formal plans have been submitted for the Mountain Avenue property. To meet the court-ordered affordable housing mandate, the zoning allows 34 townhouses on the 2.6-acre Bell Avenue property north of the NJ Transit tracks on Somerville's border with Raritan. Bell Avenue property has been subject of lawsuits The inclusion of the property in the borough's affordable housing plan and the rezoning of the parcel for multifamily development may help end a legal fight that began in November 2022.

Route 202 traffic light work may begin after fatal Branchburg crash

BRANCHBURG – The state Department of Transportation may begin work this week to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Route 202 and Holland Brook Road . Assemblywoman Mitchelle Drulis, D-Somerset, said in a Facebook post that the DOT also will conduct "a comprehensive review of traffic and crash data throughout the 202 corridor in Branchburg to determine where additional safety improvements are needed." The announcement came after a 32-year-old Branchburg man died Oct. 26 when a tractor-trailer collided with a Ford sedan at Route 202 and Holland Brook Road , causing the Ford to burst into flames. Authorities have not released the victim's identity. Fatal Route 202 crash prompts calls for safety improvements In the wake of the fatal crash, Mayor James Schworn called on the DOT to "immediately close" every unsignalized Route 202 intersection in the township . In an open letter to residents, Schworn said the township has "received a positive response and have been advised that DOT is actively working toward a solution." While many residents have suggested immediately closing the intersection, Schworn said doing so without a broader traffic safety review could create other problems.
