Open Space Advisory Committee Recommends Ban On Statues On Open Space

September 19, 2018 Entertainment

The Open Space Advisory Committee recommended Sept. 18 that the Township Council ban statues on open space.

The Open Space Advisory Committee on Sept. 18 hardened its stance on the proposed “Peace and Nonviolence” Monument park by voting to recommend that no statues be placed on any township-owned open space.

The monument park, championed by Township Councilman Rajiv Prasad (D-At Large) is targeted for about 9,000 square feet on open space at the corner of Route 27 and Cortelyous Lane. Bronze statues of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King and busts of Nelson Mandela and Saint Teresa of Calcutta are planned to be placed there.
