Stop Commercial Traffic on Closter Dock Road
Closter Dock Road shoulders the burden of commercial traffic heading into the Northern Valley. Once quiet and picturesque towns are no longer so due to the constant over-sized and tractor trailer traffic that travels this road all hours of the day and night. Noise pollution and environmental pollution are cause for concern, but it's the fact of these trucks that jeopardize the safety of everyone who lives or travels on this road that’s truly alarming.
Why is this important?
Closter Dock Road is a county road that runs through the towns of Closter and Alpine in Bergen County. Closter Dock Road is traveled by tractor trailers and over-sized vehicles every day, which not only create excessive noise and pollution, but even more alarming, these vehicles create a safety hazard to anyone living or traveling along this road. The trucks also clog up downtown Closter, and once Closter Plaza is finished, traffic and congestion will be even worse. Local government’s hands are tied by the county, so we need your support to force the county to change the conditions that exist on Closter Dock Road and help make our towns safer and a better place to live. Our beautiful, historic town is being negatively impacted by all these commercial vehicles. Please sign our petition; we need your help!
