"I don’t know if you’re hearing this but I think what a lot of people are saying is go and fix the bridge.     
          
What you represented about that I’m not an engineer but I watch a car race.  In order to slow a car race down you need to decrease the radius of the turn.  All you’re doing is lengthening the radius - making the radius less gradual and making the curve longer that speeds traffic up.  So what that will do if I'm seeing that right is it would speed things up ...   

I think you have an ulterior motive.  You want traffic running through our neighborhood.  It’s not okay.  You really need to just fix the bridge.”

On Wednesday, May 16th, community residents opposed to the unwarranted replacement of the Briarwood bridge attended a Plum Grove Estates' property owners meeting to raise awareness of the Township's plans.  As reported by the Daily Herald, the destruction and reconstruction of our historic bridge and culling of 200-year old oak trees is not "sitting well" with many of the homeowners.  Please weigh in with your comments, and let the Township know that we will not be bulldozed into this unnecessary, destructive project!
