FIND A NEW ROUTE TO WORK & SHOP WEEK

Traffic patterns have always been a problem, this week with the closing of State Route 16's exit and entrance ramps at North 21st Street has upset many. Country Club Drive, W. Church Street and Granville Street congestion during the construction have proven we need a news copter or least cameras on top of buildings for a traffic report every morning and evening.
The best route I have found to head towards the North 21st Street area is to head towards Downtown Newark, wave at the Chamber Girls and go north on Hudson Avenue.
Steve Layman has said several times to me over the past years,
"highways should not be built through the center of a city". Wish he had been around
in the 60s when St. Rt. 16 was being planned. If he had been,
it may have been also named St. Rt. 161, which is another good idea.
