Borough seeks funds for firehouse traffic signal
The Ho-Ho-Kus Council recently approved a resolution to allow the submission of a grant application to the New Jersey Department of Transportation. The borough is seeking funds for an emergency vehicle traffic control signal for the firehouse. The facility, which is located on Sheridan Avenue, is the borough’s only firehouse. The control signal, which a borough official estimated could cost approximately $150,000, would be placed near the firehouse at a location to be determined. Its function is to alert area motorists to exercise caution, or to stop, when fire trucks are leaving or entering the station. Commenting on the signal, Ho-Ho-Kus Mayor Thomas Randall said, “Its primary function is to improve safety and to provide adequate warning (that fire trucks are being maneuvered in the area).” He added, “When the signal goes in, we hope for a general traffic calming.” In particular, he said the aim is to have motorists slow down. When firefighters return from a call, two individuals usually step off the truck and hold up the traffic, so the driver can pull back into the firehouse. However, several borough officials indicated that some drivers weave around the trucks, others speed through the area, and still others are inattentive due, in part, to cell phone use. The signal, Mayor Randall added, is a safety precaution. “We’re trying to do everything we can to protect our firefighters,” Borough Administrator Don Cirulli commented. He said the borough also has plans for additional striping for the roadway outside the firehouse. According to the resolution concerning the grant application, the mayor and Borough Clerk Laura Borchers are now authorized to submit an electronic grant application to the New Jersey DOT on the borough’s behalf. Randall and Borchers are also authorized to sign the grant agreement for the borough and such signature would constitute “acceptance of the terms and conditions of the grant agreement.” J. CRUSCO
