Letters to the Editor (continued from page 18) Drivers need a wake-up call -- and long in advance. They shouldn’t get an alert a few feet away from the circle, especially when they driving between 40 and 25 miles per hour (much too fast) up and down Franklin Lake Road. Another solution would be to install a traffic light at the circle. It might slow traffic flow a little, but it would prob- ably prevent future accidents. My husband and I have lived at the edge of the circle more than 50 years and are well acquainted with accidents at the site. Motorists aren’t the only ones at risk. Joggers, cyclists, and pedestrians are also in jeopardy, and they travel around the circle on a regular basis. I hold my breath every time I see one of these brave souls try to get through the intersec- tion or dodge speeding vehicles on Franklin Lake and High Mountain Roads. When yield signs are posted, there may be a tremendous increase in accident statistics. We just wish that more time would be spent in studying the circle for better solutions. Rosalie Longo Franklin Lakes Concerned over perception of privilege Dear Editor: I am writing to comment on the recent article regarding the Midland Park DPW. I totally agree with our mayor: The Midland Park DPW is an outstanding, hard-working group. They do an excellent job. But I can also understand Mr. Casse’s mistake in think- ing the Parkwood Deli enjoys special privileges. After all, the little neighborhood corner store was able to add seating, pizza ovens, a large lighted sign, and extend business hours seemingly without any of the normal municipal oversight that would have involved the neighborhood and evaluated the parking, noise, and light issues. In addition, I have observed a “municipal employee” lunch special that is not posted, but appears to be about a 50 percent discount. In conclusion, I don’t think it is Mr. Casse who has the problem, I believe we all do. Mary F.
