Bergen County DPW/PD (Proposed)
BLeafe:
It's a funny thought, Homie, but Hackensack might have actually been able to pull that off last year. The gas station and a couple of stores on Cedar Lane at Elm Ave - practically right across the street from the theater - were torn down. The town voted to let Walgreen's build a 2-story drive-in store there and the citizens are not happy.
First, it's RIGHT across the street from the beloved J&J Drug Store (which has been there so long that their prescriptions cured my ills when I was a toddler) and is a couple of doors away from a big CVS store. The drive-in aspect will really mess up Cedar Lane's traffic, especially since there's another drive-in store (Dunkin' Donuts) up the street that already has cars blocking the street while waiting to drive in during AM rush hour.
Driving on Cedar Lane is always a pain, so this is a pretty stupid move. I think Teaneck residents would have preferred a Hackensack salt shed that would only be used a few times each winter in that space over what they're getting.
I took these pix of the space last month during that zero-degrees weekend.
