1. Nightmare’s are better, since they eventually end.

2. I am sitting in this craziness for the past hour already with no end in sight… They didn’t think about this beforehand???

3. Can’t anyone in the road department work out a better time to do projects such as these?!
   There was no way around the closures & Oberlin has schools & businesses galore!

4. who would approve repaving a road that is the only access to how many schools on the block / needs access to? (ie vasser as well) on a SCHOOL DAY?!?! ANY TIME ON A SCHOOL DAY??!?!!? how can this be prevented from occurring again?

5. where is the brains to do it today

6. Not normal! Took 1.5 hours to drive kids to school!

7. Comment #1 is head on. Yes today it was exasperated because of paving. But why are we forced to sit and sit every regular morning ? Are our, the common man in Lakewood, needs being taken into account when the town planning is being done?

8. Why not plan NOW to do ALL these roadwork and repair jobs on Rosh Hashanah and Succos? Is there anyone in the drivers seat making these decisions??
   This town is a major traffic nightmare in general. It is a result of no planning.

9. I would like someone from the township to make an official comment on this disaster.

10. Why no warning? No signage? Many cars circled around because there was not notice of traffic pattern.

11. They were suppposed to do it in the summer but didnt get to it (I think there was an earlier post about it.) Maybe they can do it over Succos

12. btw: aside from the “logical” idea to do a major through-fare with so many schools would be to do at NIGHT, in 3 weeks time, there will be no school for almost 2 whole weeks! PLANNING ANYONE?

13. Yes. We need an official statement.

14. The quicker people realize that Lakewood is actually Chelm the easier it will be for them to tolerate the insanity.

15. All it is is being self centered. Rude and despicable of the township to do that. 2 month with no schools open in the area is not enough time to do this. They have to do it on a busy school day. Try closing the street that the public school on a school day. It took me 2 hours to get thru.

16. Not that long ago road closures did not have such a major impact. maybe a few extra minutes , i wonder what changed…?

17. It’s not just this mornings irrationality alone that drives us residents crazy, it’s the constant morning hour construction and 1 lane closures on a regular basis through some of the most conjested roads in town that are infuriating. Cross St, Prospect, Avenue of States, Cedarbridge… And the list goes on. Of course work must get done but use some strategic planning and timing to avoid this chaos!

18. This work is actually being carried out by county crews, so it can only be assumed that it’s not as simple to change their schedules. An effort should still be made, but it’s not for sure in the hands of our township’s officials.

19. #LakewoodBridgegate anyone? Someone here wanted to get back to a school or business on that street!

20. How much is it going to cost taxpayers now that it hadta b stopped and restarted?!?? That $ should come out if whoever planned and approved this job!!
