Come ye all to the Madrigal Dinner! Olney Road lawsuit (continued from page 7) complaints from a resident of Olney Road that the closed area blocked that resident’s driveway. So Cabezas said the township arbitrarily and capriciously adopted a new ordinance repealing the previous two ordinances and closing 15 feet of Olney Road between Stephens and Babcock. That led to Cabezas’ first lawsuit in May 2007. The court decision required the township to remove the bollards and reopen the road to the public. When the latest ordinance was adopted by the council, Mayor Richard Martel did not act on it either to approve or veto it, preferring instead to let the council decide whether to close the road and to ultimately let the matter be resolved in court. According to Martel, the last time this matter went to court it cost the township $21,000 in legal fees. Martel explained at the time that he cannot prevent anyone from filing a lawsuit against the township, but the township cannot let the fear of a lawsuit affect the council’s actions. Proponents of the ordinance claim the road is unsafe because one 15-foot section of the road is too narrow to allow two cars to pass one another. Opponents of the ordinance, including the township’s police chief, claim there have been no safety issues with the road even though it narrows to between 13.7 and 14.7 feet, according to the ordinance. A traffic engineer hired by the council conducted a study of traffic on that road and recommended closing the road to through traffic, or widening it. A township estimate indicates that the widening project could cost between $172,000 and $237,000. Ramsey High School Chorus and Madrigal Singers. Keeping Families Warm Since 1929. Happy Thanksgiving!
