#6725 During the September 2009 Zoning Board Meeting it was announced that the traffic expert was next up to bat and that a revised Traffic Study would be available to the public 2 weeks before the next Special Zoning Board Meeting. I contacted the Zoning Board today to try to get a copy but did not receive a call back or a copy. If anyone has a copy of the revised traffic study would they be so kind as to email it to: prospectavenuecoalition@yahoo.com. thx.

I think it is too late to review the traffic report before the October 15 meeting, even if it becomes available.  As the Board Chairman stated, this is a very important issue.  Since the applicant did not meet his commitment to a 2 week window, I would hope the Board will not accept testimony from the traffic expert at the next meeting.

#6779 NOTICE OF POSTPONEMENT

HACKENSACK SPECIAL ZONING BOARD MEETING ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 15TH HAS BEEN POSTPONED

Joe Basralian has notified the Zoning Board that neither the Traffic Expert or the Planner is available to testify on October 15th and has asked that the Last Hackensack Special Zoning Board Meeting be postponed. Check back here for the rescheduled date or email: prospectavenuecoalition@yahoo.com.

This could be a deliberate tactic to wear out the opposition. 

After you've peppered the area with flyers, people will come down and see NO HEARING.  And then you won't get them back when it really comes.

On your Next flyer:  Put on the flyer specifically to check your website or this string, to see if the hearing is on or postponed.

#6858 Thanks. We have done that already as we have observed the number of people who view this link. Although we are connected does anyone else know the date the meeting has been rescheduled to? And if anyone gets a copy of the revised Traffic Study would they send a copy to: prospectavenuecoalition@yahoo.com.

As soon as we hear we will announce the rescheduled date on this website and via our regular distribution channel. I like that it is postponed. Gives us more time to rally the troops. Also brings us closer to November and I don't remember in the past (PC Air Rights) that the Zoning Board would schedule Special Meetings during November and December. I like it.

#6922 Still no word on when the October 15 Special Meeting will be reschedule to. Stay tuned here on this message board and once we hear we will let you know. We will really have to rally the troops and get this rescheduled date out there to the public. We can't let their tactics or scheduling conflicts derail our opposition efforts. Thanks everyone for your support.
