VIDEO: Committeeman Meir Lichtenstein is hoping to bring some changes to the downtown. At Thursday evening’s Township Committee meeting, the Committeeman proposed that a meeting be held with all downtown store owners in order to discuss and implement changes which would ease the parking and traffic congestion downtown.
A meeting date will be announced in the near future.
way to go meir it about time someone is taking care of this on going problem
Get the school to park some where its not fair that they keep their cars all day and we can’t use the down town parking lot. Thanks for working on this
Its about time –I used to shop downtown 2nd St but now the lot is always full. The teachers from the Shul take up the parking spots for 8 hours. It should be a one hour limit or park in the municipal lots.
Maybe the town should look into parking meters–it would bring revenue to the town.
meir you are always looking to help out .
you see what is fair and you do your best to work on it
that is way you keep getting voted in
Please don’t even suggest meters. I pay enough taxes already and would just shop online. The parking is a hassle but I usually find a spot. Meters will push me to shop out of downtown for sure!
please remember parking for the employees of minicipal bldg
THANKS. the only way to get something done….discuss it in an open format. !!!!
Lets put meters in a start a parking authority to issues summons like we used to have years ago
Why would anyone shop downtown anymore? Everything is available today away from the downtown area. You save time and lots of aggravation too. I avoid that area like the plague. It is a total nightmare. Fourth street backed up all the way with no way to turn. Clifton resembling a parking lot. Trucks double parked all day on Clifton. No parking. Need I say more?
Thanks Meir!!
free up the lexinton parking lot its always full everyone that parks keeps their cars all day from 9 till 5 thats unfair to those who want to shop or go in to somepnes office for 30 -45 min one parking spot can be used 8x more per day WAY TO GO MEIR GET THIS DONE THANKS
what happened to the garage that was suppose to be built ?
I have seen inspectors and police park there even when the area reserved for them is basically empty.
Mr. Lichtenstein-I’m a big fan. You have proven that your a real man; honest, hardworking and professional to the T. Keep up the good work and we’ll continue to have your back.
I used to shop at corner of 2nd got always fast service and they have everything I know they have the biggest tzedakah accts people that can’t afford and now my freind is suffering I can’t even shop there because there is no parking when there is no school there is plenty of parking please help ty meir
it will be yet another failed attempt at a situation that they have wasted thousands of tax dollars on and always ends up being good for only a few not the many.
what about that promised traffic light at the end of our block of Pine St and MLK dive?? where is that one.
hey scoop how about a new poll?????
And people in this town are going to listen? Wake up, its too late!
# 14 Really? Come on
stop building houses! and build parking lots
The general lack of parking, congestion,and dangerous driving in downtown Lakewood causes people to avoid the downtown area.
There is no quick fix to the issue, as all available parking spaces are spoken for. Where is the Planning Board? Why does the Township Committee begin preparing ordinances to better control traffic, parking, and enforce parking regulations.
There is a critical need for off street parking, but no one is willing to pay for it. This means that as the population grows, traffic in the downtown area will continue to deteriorate, unless drastic changes are introduced.
Some cities have pedestrian only downtown areas, with off street parking nearby, or there are offsite parking garages with shuttles to and from the downtown area.
The absence of change will kill the downtown and enhance the profitability of the malls, where parking is provided.
Of course, another remedy is to relocate the downtown businesses to another location such as the industrial park or the Corporate Park. This would free up needed real estate for downtown residential units.
i wonder will they b kind and remember us on mlk & pine ???
please!!
Relocate Lakewood.
is it possible to turn municipal parking lots into multi-level parking (like you see @ malls & hospitals)? or wouldtrhat be far too expensive?

they are putting up a light 1 mile away, where there is no need, this should help you. Amazing people, get up, stand up, write a petition, attend a meeting and let them hear you. 1 mile away is not the answer………….you got screwed mlk and pine
