If you could not attend a recent Morristown council meeting about a proposed CVS pharmacy for the corner of Speedwell Avenue and Spring Street, you will have another chance to ask questions on Oct. 4, 2012.
A neighborhood workshop on this redevelopment project is scheduled for 7 pm to 9 pm at the seniors center in town hall, at 200 South St.
CVS wants to build a 15,000-square-foot pharmacy with 73 parking spaces on the site of an old Lincoln Mercury car dealership that has been vacant for more than a decade. The pharmacy chain seeks town approvals by November.
If CVS completes its purchase of the site from the Lotz family, and obtains redevelopment approvals from the town council and planning board, it pledges to donate property fronting Speedwell Avenue that can be converted into another northbound lane.
The result would be two lanes for through-traffic to bypass the left-turn lane for motorists heading from Speedwell to Early Street.

I agree with Pkklb 100%. When is the speedwell redevelopment plan going to get started?
It would be nice to start cleaning up this part of Morristown to match the revitalization happening in other parts of town. For those who are opposed to ‘another pharmacy or yogurt shop’, perhaps they would prefer to look at the empty decrepit lot as it currently exists.
Plus another unique old building demolished. “Welcome to historic Morristown.”
Just what we need….another pharmacy. How about a bank….or a frozen yogurt shop?? And what does the future hold for improving (not making worse) the traffic flow?
