Route 92 Public Comment Period Extended

In response to many requests , the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has extended the public comment period for its consideration of a Route 92 wetlands permit until April 22.

The controversial Route 92 proposal - a highway to link the Turnpike to Route 1 through wetlands in Middlesex County - brought over 800 people to last week's public hearing, the second-highest turnout for a Corps project hearing in recent years.

Meanwhile, public opposition to the project continues to swell. On Monday night, Hopewell Borough passed a resolution against the road, joining Hopewell Township, Montgomery, Hillsborough, Franklin, Rocky Hill, and South Brunswick in opposition to the road.

The Army Corps will take comments until 5pm on April 22nd. For info, call 212-264-6731 or e-mail James.W.Haggerty@usace.army.mil. Write to: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District Eastern Permits Section Jacob Javits Federal Building, Room 1937 New York, NY 10278-0090
