Earlier this month, we reported about revised plans to redevelop Morristown’s Speedwell Avenue area.

The town planning consultants have posted their presentation from that hearing, with conceptual illustrations, on the town website. You also can download it here:

A member of the Latino community tells The Daily Record today that he expects the redevelopment plan eventually will displace Latinos living and working on Speedwell Avenue:

“It’s going to force the minorities to leave,” said Victor Cotto, owner of Uptown Cuts on the corner of Clinton Street and Speedwell Avenue. “They have the power to do that. I can’t stop them.”

  1. I disagree with the Speedwell/Early reconfiguration postponement. That was one of the main driving forces behind doing the development. It’s the worst traffic congestion/air pollution spot in the County. The contention it will turn Early into a speedway and “split” the town is wrong. Numerous traffic studies show otherwise. Where do they get these weird ideas? Was the Council involved in this? Were any residents involved? Any charets? I don’t think so!
