Overdevelopment

Edison has been at the mercy of developers, for far too long! To reign in overdevelopment, I plan to do the following.

• Reintroduce the Public Advocate Ordinance and vote YES!
• Demand existing ordinances are strictly enforced
• Examine ordinances and close loopholes, which benefit developers
• Introduce strict ordinances, which represent residents
• Work with the Planning and Zoning Boards to limit variances and adhere to the Master Plan

Traffic

Traffic in Edison is a nightmare and requires much improvement! The following items are on my agenda.

• Request an inhouse traffic study of township primary and secondary roads
• Work with the Planning Board/Engineering Department to immediately identify and implement improvements
• Demand the County and State review their roads and makes necessary corrections
• Suggest the Police Department increase patrols in high traffic areas
• Require immediate resident notification of potential traffic hazards
• Request residents are provided advance notice of road construction and detour routes

Quality of Life

The quality of life for Edison residents is endangered! I believe the following requires improvement.

• Residents need to be heard, understood, and most importantly respected
• Resident concerns need prompt attention
• Accurate swift answers should be afforded to residents
• Prompt public communication regarding crimes and other hazards are needed by residents
• Ordinances must be enforced

Fiscal Responsibility

The current economy dictates strict accurate budgets and fiscal responsibility! Fiscal responsibility requires the following steps.

• Limit unnecessary spending
• Capitalize on state and Federal funding/grants
• Reduce wasteful spending
• Proper planning and budgeting
• Timely budget preparation and introduction
• Optimizing department efficiency and redistributing resources, as needed
