Radburn’s First Treasure Hunt Open to Public

Take a foot tour of garage sales in historic Radburn this Saturday.

The public is invited to hunt for Radburn residents' treasure Saturday as part of the community's first multi-family yard sale. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Radburn Citizens' Association has arranged garage sales throughout Radburn, allowing treasure seekers to participate in a foot tour of the historic community. The hunt begins behind Panera Bread, near the corner of Warren Road and Plaza Road, where treasure seekers can leave their cars, purchase a treasure map for $1 and begin a house-to-house trek through Radburn’s world-renowned pedestrian walkways. Founded in 1929, Radburn was one of America’s first planned communities based on a design of cul-de-sacs connected to parks that allow children to walk to school without ever having to …

I polled a dozen Radburn homeowners who held garage sales, and it was unanimous that the first treasure hunt was a success. They sold a lot of stuff and didn't have to schlep their stuff down to the Grange Hall, allowing more stuff put out and bigger items, which sold well. There were complaints of not enough advertising, that past years had a full page ad in Community News and it should have …   more ›

Traffic Issues Will Again Dominate Monday's Daly Field Discussion

The Planning Board hearings on the proposed Landmark development at Daly Field will be continue Monday at 7:30 p.m in Borough Hall Council Chambers.

The Fair Lawn Planning Board's hearings on the proposed Landmark development on Daly Field in Radburn will continue Monday night, with an extension of last month's traffic discussion. At last month's hearing, Landmark's traffic engineer, Eric Keller, presented the developer's traffic impact study -- which modeled future traffic growth associated with the controversial development, looking at traffic impacts at four intersections adjacent to the site -- and answered questions from members of the planning board and the public. Among the issues planning board members asked Keller to report back on at the June meeting are the feasibility of various options -- from a left-hand turn arrow to a delayed green -- for the traffic light at the …

Voices of residents should be heard, but unfortunately it is just too late to affect real change to this development. The horse is out of the barn, so the only logical course is to ask of board members, politicians and city management what are they going to change so that the residents (voters) are not put in a position of powerlessness that we find ourselves in now? I wish circumstances were …   more ›

Planning Board Raises Feasibility and Public Safety Concerns with Landmark Traffic Findings

Landmark's traffic engineer Eric Keller presented a traffic study Monday that was conducted to analyze the traffic impact of the proposed housing development on Daly Field in Radburn.

Concerned that the traffic impact study conducted to identify and mitigate traffic flow concerns associated with the proposed Daly field development did not adequately address various public safety concerns, Planning Board members peppered Landmark’s traffic engineer Eric Keller with questions for well over an hour at Monday’s public hearing. The study, which modeled future traffic growth associated with the controversial Landmark development using industry standard software, looked at traffic impacts at four intersections adjacent to the site:  Landmark’s traffic engineers installed an automatic traffic recorder across Plaza Road last September that took readings from Sept. 26 through Oct. 6, and compared them to a previous traffic …

Your absolutely right. Its perception engineering (often called selling) that they are engaged in. They represent the interest of their employer who wishes to proceed with building as much as possible. One question which was missing from the discussions was asking the engineer to establish credentials from a work product perspective. It would have been fun to see how often they had actually …   more ›
