Letter to the Editor: President Eleanor Wallen writes a letter thanking the Millburn Mayor Sandra Haimoff for her efforts following Hurricane Sandy.
Millburn Mayor Haimoff’s power restoration effort We wish to thank Mayor Haimoff for the twice-daily updates on the power outages after Hurricane Sandy. She has been working long days tracking the thousands of locations which remained without power past the initial four days. Her numerous appeals for help resulted in the assignment of a JCP&L vice-president to oversee power restoration. Despite her prodding JCP&L was unable to meet their promised deadlines. The Millburn police deserve commendation for their excellent service and emergency management these past two weeks. The Short Hills Association is sponsoring an Electric Power Forum November 29 at the Education Center, 7:30 p. m. The public is invited to question local area …

A woman was hit by a car in Millburn recently while legally crossing Main Street in front of Starbucks. On March 26 a 14 year old boy was struck by a car in downtown Millburn. Students were hit by cars near the Millburn Middle School and on White Oak Ridge Road in May, 2011. In February 2011 a 32 year old man was struck on Millburn Avenue near Campbell Road. We all know that cars speed on Millburn Avenue in the downtown area every day. Why aren’t the police stopping speeders? Why are drivers holding and using cell phones? Why aren’t drivers checking the crosswalk before turning a corner? What will happen when Stop & Shop opens a supermarket on Millburn Avenue? In the 1970’s and early 1980’s a policeman directed traffic at the …

Editor, Patch August 15, 2012 The Short Hills Association opposes the outsourcing of Police Dispatching in Millburn Township because our town deserves the best policing possible. This is not a matter of saving money; the cost of local dispatching is nominal in comparison to the service provided. Outsourcing this vital service removes both community control and the dispatchers who know the streets, neighborhoods and expectations of the residents. The current system of dispatching involved years of Police Department effort directed to Millburn’s particular needs and problems. Local dispatching engages our police officers and detectives closely with the people of Millburn. It is controlled by our township government and administration…

Date: July 16, 2012 The Short Hills Association supports the Millburn-Short Hills group Residents for Traffic Safety (www.residentsfortrafficsafety.org) in their efforts to limit the truck and vehicle traffic on Millburn Avenue that will result from the proposed Stop and Shop supermarket on the former Saks Fifth Avenue property. Stop and Shop received Springfield Township approval to build a highway-sized supermarket with only four loading docks (Kings on Morris Avenue has six). Springfield has forbidden truck access to the property from the existing Morris Avenue driveway as a noise abatement policy for the neighbors. Therefore, the eastern Millburn Avenue entrance is the only access and egress for trucks using the loading dock. If …

The Short Hills Association continues to vigorously oppose the TMB project of 62 apartment units which TMB intends to construct on the Livingston border of Short Hills at the corner of South Orange Ave. and White Oak Ridge Rd. Many Millburn-Short Hills residents think that this construction is a “done deal”. This is not true. The construction has not received the necessary approvals from the local and state governments. The Short Hills Association urges the Township Committee to continue its efforts to resist construction of this complex. We also encourage TMB Partners to reconsider the size and scope of their project and its resulting harmful impact on the adjacent Short Hills community. We encourage TMB to work closely and harmoniously…
