June 4, 2014 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 5 Franklin Lakes County plans to repave a portion of Pulis Avenue by Frank J. McMahon Bergen County Road Supervisor Tom Connolly has advised that the portion of Pulis Avenue that was not paved last fall due to weather conditions at that time will be milled this week and paved next week. According to Connolly, the rough surfaced portion of Pulis Avenue that extends from the Shadow Lake area to an area west of Campgaw Road will be milled June 4, 5, and 6. That portion of the road will be repaved on June 9 and 10. Connolly emphasized that this schedule is “weather permitting” and, if the weather prevents the contractor from completing these tasks on schedule, the project will be delayed until the weather permits. The borough again cautioned motorists about the repav- ing of Pulis Avenue, stating that the repaving project is expected to cause traffic detours and delays. Franklin Lakes Borough Administrator Gregory Hart advised that detours will be set up and motorists should allow extra time and use alternate routes to avoid traffic congestion and delays during the milling and repaving work. The portion of Pulis Avenue from Susquehanna Avenue to the area near the Shadow Lake, and the portion of that road from Chapel Road to west of Campgaw Road was milled and repaved last fall, but a couple of snowstorms in the middle of December, and then the Christmas holi- days, prevented the contractor from finishing the repaving of the road. The borough advised motorists that, although a large portion of the milling and paving on Pulis Avenue had been completed, the contractor had demobilized for Bob Rizzotti exhibits at church gallery The Gallery of the High Mountain Presbyterian Church will feature the works of artist Bob Rizzotti during the month of June. Inspired by the artist’s travels, the paintings in this exhibit were created in a variety of ways. Some were made from photographs, while others were painted at the scene or created by from Rizzotti’s imagination. A Waldwick resident for 43 years, Rizzotti has exhibited in many New Jersey and New York venues and has donated some of his art to charity and to the Borough of Waldwick. CBS named Rizotti its “Home Town Hero” for his painting of the World Trade Center, “Before,” which he presented to the Port Authority in 2003. Located at 730 Franklin Lake Road in Franklin Lakes, the gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on weekends by appointment.

The repaving project will eliminate the washboard effect on Pulis Avenue that has existed since the Northwest Bergen County Utilities Authority began to install a new sewer line in 2012. That line is part of the sanitary sewer main in the Franklin Lakes downtown central business district and an interceptor line from the business district to the trunk line in Mahwah. That sewer project includes a pumping station that will be constructed at the Frank- lin Crossing Shopping Center and the gravity-fed sanitary sewer main that will extend from that area under Route 287 and the railroad tracks east along Susquehanna Avenue to Pulis Avenue, and then along Pulis ultimately to connect to the gravity sewer on Chapel Road in Mahwah. A force-fed sanitary sewer line has also been installed from Franklin Avenue along Susquehanna Avenue to Pulis Avenue to convey the borough’s flow to the NBCUA system to treat sewage at the authority’s Waldwick plant.
