Pennsylvania officials and towns added to the growing opposition to construction of Route 29 along the Delaware River in Trenton.
The Morrisville, PA borough council condemned the project in a resolution adopted Monday, citing the additional traffic and river impacts the project will create and stating that the project "is contrary to almost every goal" of the Lower Delaware River Management Plan.
Meanwhile, the Trenton City Council has requested a fact-finding meeting about the project with NJDOT.
Opposition to the waterfront highway began to mount when NJ's Tidelands Resource Council rejected a permit for the project to fill part of the Delaware in May. NJDOT and the Council are attempting to organize a re-hearing, but the legality of a second hearing for the same proposal that was rejected earlier is dubious.
