Going Forward
Quality of Life

    
Montclair is and will remain primarily a suburban, residential community. However, our location is uniquely situated in the midst of a major urban metropolitan center, which may give rise, on occasion, to a deterioration of the quality-of-life for many residents. Whether it is speeding, noise pollution, lack of parking, neighborhood values, excessive signage or other issues, Montclair is in danger of losing its suburban character unless we confront these issues with creative strategies and consistent enforcement.


Goals for 2005

Manager

  • Review all Township ordinances/rules to reduce confusion and improve enforcement
  • Improve code enforcement thoroughness and consistency by implementing a pro-active program, rather than having complaints set enforcement priorities
  • Develop and support programs to reduce litter and improve cleanliness in our neighborhoods, parks and commercial areas
  • Improve street signage including the design and installation of Welcome to Montclair signs at the north and south ends of town, on major access roads

Council & Manager

  • Adopt and fund a “way finding” system of improved signage for facilities/parking
  • Implement and monitor on street parking solutions for Montclair High School
  • Design, fund and install the first “traffic calming” projects at pilot locations
  • Adopt and implement “sustainability” recommendations regarding environmental- related policies governing purchasing, lighting, vehicle purchase, etc.
  • Conduct six-month review of the new parking regulations near MHS
