For years, residents have complained about the neglected space beneath the Grove Avenue railroad bridge. The sidewalks were deteriorated, the railings rusted and broken, and the lighting poor along a heavily traveled route for pedestrians and vehicles.

Because the property is owned by Amtrak, fixing it required coordination well beyond the Borough. These kinds of projects can take time and persistence, and after working through a series of bureaucratic obstacles, this summer we were able to use a NJ Department of Transportation Transit Village grant to make major improvements to the sidewalks, railings and lighting.

I think it’s safe to say this reclaimed underpass looks so much better, is safer, and is yet another example of how we’re tackling infrastructure throughout Metuchen by working across levels of government and finding outside funding to get long-needed improvements done.
