Woodland Park Flood Tunnel Stuck at 30% Study Years After Funding Approved

Marlene Resciniti has lived on Hromiak Terrace in Woodland Park long enough to know exactly what happens when Dowling Brook rises, and she says her neighborhood floods directly because of it. Years after officials say the Peckman River flood tunnel project was approved, Resciniti and her neighbors are still waiting for a shovel to hit dirt, and Woodland Park Mayor Tracy Kallert says she understands the frustration all too well.

Woodland Park Board Kills 12-Unit Lackawanna Project Over Density, Traffic Fears

29-33 Lackawanna Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed Apartment Project. Woodland Park’s Zoning Board of Adjustment voted 6-1, with one member abstaining, to deny a proposal that would have combined four properties at 29-33 Lackawanna Avenue into a three-story building with 12 apartments, a 730-square-foot commercial space, and parking. The board rejected the application over zoning-exception and neighborhood-density concerns, ending a review of a project that had already been reworked once to address earlier objections.

Developer proposes 91-unit Paterson complex amid crowding complaints

PATERSON — A developer wants to build 91 apartments on four properties on North Seventh Street, which, if completed, would be one of the largest housing projects in the 1st Ward in more than a decade. The area where Bent Avenue Real Estate Holdings wants to construct the apartments is zoned for single-family homes and apartment buildings with four units. The developer would need Paterson Zoning Board of Adjustment approval because its plans would surpass the neighborhood’s density regulations. At present, four buildings each containing four apartments stand on the site. They would be demolished under Bent Avenue’s application and replaced by a four-story building containing seven studio apartments, 43 one-bedroom units, 34 two-bedroom units and seven three-bedroom apartments. Story continues below photo gallery. A project of that size requires 158 parking spaces, but the plans provide for 148, the city’s zoning board agenda said. Councilman Michael Jackson, who represents the 1st Ward, said he doesn’t see how the proposal would benefit city residents. “All of this overbuilding is a disservice to Paterson,” Jackson said, adding that the rents being charged for new apartments in the city exceed what residents can afford to pay. Mayor Andre Sayegh’s economic development director,

Darren Cooper's predictions for North Jersey sectional finals | Exclusive

High school football is always in trouble. Right? Every year, athletic directors worry about not having enough kids, coaches worry about depth, parents worry about safety. And yet, every year, the game rolls on. Here we are at sectional final weekend, eh, Round 3, and excitement around North Jersey is high. The truth is, coaches and athletic directors always wish there were more players. Why? Because they believe in the game's intrinsic value to teach lessons about hard work and discipline. They see aimless kids walking in the hallways with maybe a hint of athletic ability and think that that student could benefit from playing football. It was the same in the 2000s, the 2010s and so on. But it’s time to recognize one major truth. All schools are about to see an across-the-board decline in enrollment. Why? People aren’t having the same number of kids. Period. Full stop. And football leadership in this state has to start planning for it. What does this mean? Well, the first idea is more co-ops. I know of at least one co-op already in the pipeline: North Arlington and Harrison, which is a win-win for all parties. Harrison gets football back. North Arlington
