Midland Park
Borough to vacate paper street
Hunter Avenue was once a proposed street off
Meda Place in Midland Park shown on a 1910
subdivision map. It straddled both Midland Park
and Wyckoff but was never improved, with Meda
Place following a different course than the origi-
nal plans suggested.
In 1968 the paper street was vacated by both
municipalities. The property was divided among
the homeowners on either side. Wyckoff recorded
the change with Bergen County, but Midland
Park did not.
Now 45 years later, one of the property owners
affected by that oversight wants clear title to his
property and is asking for the resolution to be
memorialized. Midland Park Borough Attorney
Robert Regan told the mayor and council last
week that the proper course of action after so
many years would be to vacate the street through
a new ordinance, which will be identical to the
original one. The council expects to introduce
the measure at its next meeting, and the change
will be recorded following adoption, he said.
Mayor Patrick ”Bud” O’Hagan, a Meda Place
resident since 1970, made it clear that his property
is a few lots away, and he is in no way affected.
“This has nothing to do with the mayor. It
came up by the resident’s attorney,” Regan said.
In other business, the council awarded the
contract for repair and maintenance of the
camera and electrical systems on police vehicles
to the lone bidder, Regional Communications
Inc. of Paramus. The previous longtime service
provider, Ken’s Electric, closed his business.
Regional’s contract will be in effect for 2014
and 2015. He will charge an hourly labor rate of
$90, and a 15 percent discount for auto parts.
Businesses sought for Career Day
Midland Park Jr/Sr High School in partner-
ship with the Midland Park Chamber of Com-
merce will be hosting a Career Day and Business
Expo on Monday, March 10, at the high school.
The Chamber is looking for businesses inter-
ested in presenting during the Career Day por-
tion from 8:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. and businesses
interested in setting up a table at the Business
Expo to be held in the gym from 5 to 7 p.m.
Presenters will be given a classroom to set up
their presentations. Tables and chairs will be pro-
vided for the expo.
“We will work with your schedules and you
do not need to attend the entire day to partici-
pate,” noted Lisa Plasse of From the Top Music
Studio, who is chairing the event for the chamber.
This event is open to all students in grades 7–12.
Students will be given a bag to collect materials
distributed by the businesses.
If interested, please contact Plasse at
flute76@aol.com to receive a registration form.
The deadline to register is Feb. 6. Businesses
must be a member of the Midland Park Chamber
of Commerce to participate. Membership forms
are available at Columbia Bank, 60 Godwin
Ave. Out of the cold
