For years, mayors and concerned residents in a rural section of northwest New Jersey were the lone voices in their fight against the New Jersey Department of Transportation and its controversial rockfall mitigation project on one of their major roadways.
Now, a groundswell of voices has emerged about the DOT s rockfall projects planned around the state.
Bills have recently appeared on the state Legislature docket requesting that rockfall plans be paused, and a U.S. congressman is seeking an independent federal review of one project. Residents and mayors in other townships and even in Pennsylvania are organizing to get more involved and gather information about these questionable and costly rockfall projects being pursued by the DOT.
