WHEREAS, the Township has previously approved Resolution No. 621-04 on November 15, 2004 supporting the improvements to the four (4) intersecting roadways with the Garden State Parkway, being Crest Haven Road, Stone Harbor Boulevard, East Mechanic Street, and Shellbay Avenue; and

WHEREAS, the Township of Middle wishes to make clear to all concerned its minimum requirements for its consent and approval of the improvements to be made at Stone Harbor Boulevard and East Mechanic Street in light of its many concerns for public safety, maintenance of existing traffic routes as much as possible so as not to cause pass through traffic to congest residential and commercial area in Cape May Court House, and for the existing businesses and dwellings that will be impacted by these improvements; and

WHEREAS, the Township of Middle also wishes that these “improvements” in fact be improvements for all residents, businesses, and travelers and not just changes to the existing infrastructure;

1.  It desires improvements to this vital intersection that incorporate the following conditions:

a.  East Mechanic Street shall either go over or under the Garden State Parkway so that it connects with Bayberry Drive; and

b.  Traffic from East Bound Stone Harbor Boulevard shall be able to get onto Southbound Garden State Parkway at this intersection, and not have to go through downtown Cape May Court House; and

c.  Southbound Garden State Parkway traffic shall continue to be able to exit onto East Mechanic Street; and

d.  Eastbound Mechanic Street traffic shall continue to be able to enter the Southbound Parkway.

2.  While the Township Committee of the Township of Middle is aware of potential environmental restrictions, and has been told of cost limitations, it believes that these conditions are necessary for the public health, safety and welfare to be advanced.  These improvements offer the opportunity to greatly improve public safety access to the east side of the parkway cutting down response time significantly.  The improvements can help provide Middle Township residents with options on their routes of travel, decrease travel times and the use of gasoline thus improving our environment and advancing our national interests.  The improvements can also continue to provide access directly from the Parkway to the many businesses, governmental institutions, and religious houses of worship in the immediate area.  These conditions of the improvements stated above are essential to an advancement of the public good and each helps to keep Middle Township a Safe and Clean Family Community.  

3.  The Township Committee of the Township of Middle therefore requests that these conditions be incorporated into any design of the improvements to the intersection.

4.  A copy of this Resolution shall be forwarded to the Governor, the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation, Senator Nicholas Asselta, Assemblyman Van Drew, Assemblyman Albano, the Cape May County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, and the Engineers for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority who are designing the intersection.

WHEREAS, the Township Committee has solicited proposals, and has publicly opened each proposal submitted, and has considered each proposal in light of criteria previously established by the Township, and has made a decision on each proposal submitted in light of those criteria;
