SAYREVILLE – The Sayreville Borough Council has adopted an ordinance prohibiting trucks weighing over four tons from traveling on certain streets.
Council members adopted the ordinance on Aug. 17 that excludes trucks that weigh over four tons from locations on four streets. Trucks of such weight are excluded from traveling on Parkview Boulevard from Ernston Road to its terminus at Driftwood Drive; Elacqua Boulevard from Ernston Road to its terminus at Driftwood Drive; Dusko Drive from Old Cheesequake Road to its terminus at Paprota Drive; and Eugene Boulevard from Bordentown Avenue to its terminus at the cul-de-sac.
Exceptions to the exclusion will be made for the pickup and delivery of materials on these four streets, according to the ordinance.
In other business, the council adopted a bond ordinance amending a 2017 bond ordinance that appropriated $2.6 million for improvements to Pulaski Avenue and authorized the issuance of $1.53 million in bonds or notes to help finance the appropriation. The original bond ordinance was allocated toward improvements of the entire length of Pulaski Avenue.
Through the amendment, the $2.6 million appropriation of the bond ordinance will also be used for improvements to Jernee Mill Road, Washington Road and MacArthur Avenue.
As stated in the original ordinance, the costs of the $2.6 million appropriation not covered by the $1.53 million in bonds or notes will be covered by a $1.08 million grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Due to the grant, no down payment from the borough is necessary in financing the $2.6 million appropriation.
