Cedar bridge avenue was not salted and was very icy yesterday.
I hope the family sues the negligent county.
Silly people! this has nothing to do with snow ice or darkness, cedarbridge is a death trap to cross on a hot summer day too. cedarbridge is a major highway you wouldnt cross the GSP dont cross cedarbridge, except at the light. Many people have been killed on this highway already thinking they can make it across. My condolences to the family
I almost hit someone last night on James St. PLEASE wear reflectors, especially if you are going to walk in the street because of snow. I was going slow, but it is so dark you cannot see anyone in dark clothing. Or at least smile wide 🙂
Lost my father Rudi Gaines on this street as well as two good friends. I dont understand why the township has not done anything yet to prevent these accidents from happening. Something needs to be done! To many lives lost. My heart, love, & prayers to the family
