Residents oppose supermarket rezoning on Fitzpatrick and Crann streets
Fitzpatrick and Crann street residents secured a pledge from the Township Committee for strict traffic control and parking if a Acme supermarket is built on Liberty Avenue. They argued the rear zone change from Residence B to Business A would lower property values and raise traffic, urging the site remain retail with setbacks and defined access. The plan was approved with a 20 foot rear setback and 230 parking spaces, while other zoning and transit adjustments were also authorized or denied.
