Ask Your Freeholders: Small Print on Public Notice

Have a problem that needs to be answered by a Camden County government official? We've got your solution.

Ask Your Freeholder is a weekly feature from Collingswood Patch in which you get to ask questions and get them answered here every week by the Board of Chosen Freeholders of Camden County—the county's highest body of elected officials.

Just send your questions to bill.duhart@patch.com or ask it in our comment box below the story and we’ll take the first three every week and get one of the seven freeholders to personally answer your question for this column.

Here's this week's question:

Question, from Collingwood Patch: There are several signs on South Park Drive in Collingswood and outside of the Camden County Golf Academy Driving Range on Route 130 in Pennsauken advertising a public notice. The signs have "Public Notice" in lettering large enough to see, but several paragraphs of small print are very difficult to read. What are these signs notifying?

Answer, from Freeholder and Park Department Liaison Jeffrey Nash: The notice is to inform the public of plans by the state to widen that portion of Route 130, but we are not sure of the timing yet. It could take quite a while to get moving and the public will be provided with plenty of notice if there are any traffic pattern changes that drivers or pedestrians need to know about.
