Many residents expressed their opposition to specific development plans, said that the township doesn’t need more residential buildings or retail spaces and requested a public representative on the Planning Committee.
Mary Kay Adams objected to plans for 410 Main Street. She stated, “My neighbors started a Facebook page called ‘410MainStreetWO’ and are collecting petition signatures to stop it.” Adams said the proposed five-story building will be too high and won’t fit into the design of the neighborhood.
She noted that West Orange doesn’t need additional retail spaces because there are many empty stores right now. Adams concluded that the 410 Main Street area will be congested and will lack parking.
