    As a resident if Tinton Falls since the age of 7,I resent how this borough turned my street into an alley. We are surrounded by businesses that have tractor trailers making deliveries all time of the day. Destroying our peace as well as our property. I don’t believe you mean what you say. Strangers parking all day and well into the night! You will do as the others make promises you have no intentions of keeping ! Anything to win the vote. Councils before you made the same promise, then proceeded to allow business owners to do what they want with no regards to the wishes or concerns on the residents. Shrewsbury Ave is a nightmare 20 hours a day
    . It a nightmare

    I have lived in Tinton Falls before it became Tinton Falls. 62 years.I have watched with chagrin how my street turned into an alley. We are surrounded by business who receive deliveries on a daily basis. Blocking many of us from our homes. Strange cars parked daily for well over 20 hours a day. Discarding their trash on our property. Difficulties receiving the services our taxes pay for. They park on our leaves and branches being put out for pick up. Many times not getting removed for weeks. Always having to call Public Works to get the services our taxes pay for. We have not had proper street cleaning in years! It’s unsafe to attempt to leave Peach Street, with a restaurant blocking our vision on Clover Street with its seaweed . Making it dangerous . Cherry Street is a dangerous street to exit from because of the horrendous traffic on Shrewsbury Ave. Now we have a Quick Check, opened 24 hours a day. There goes our peace. I have learned that promises are made and never kept. The borough council does not care about the north side , If you did you would not be changing Hance Avenue. I recognize any promise is made to be elected. Once elected you like those before you will only thumb your noses at us, because we do live in 500,000$ homes. We were the original ones who brought in the others , you will kowtow down to. I’ve seen it before and it will happen again. It’s like the father built the business and the sons and grandsons destroy it. You are killing those of us with less money and power for those who are richer with more clout! Thank you but no thanks!
