Planning Board: County Should Bar Trucks From Some County Roads

BAN THE TRUCKSPlanning Board member Robert Thomas convinced the Planning Board to ask Somerset County to look into banning trucks from some County roads.

In the latest salvo against the widespread development of warehouses and their attendant truck traffic, the Township Planning Board wants Somerset County to disallow the big rigs on all or parts of some County roads.

At the urging of Board member Robert Thomas, the Board passed his motion to have Principal Planner Mark Healey contact the County Engineering Department to request a study of the County roads in Franklin, as well as in Hillsborough and Manville. The effort, the Board decided, should also include Easton Avenue in Franklin, already the subject of a County study.
