Ask Your Freeholders: Small Print on Public Notice

Got a problem and need an answer from Camden County government? We’ve got your solution. 

Ask Your Freeholder is a weekly feature from Haddonfield Patch in which you get to ask questions and get them answered here every week by the Board of Chosen Freeholders of Camden County—the county's highest body of elected officials.

Just send your questions to bill.duhart@patch.com or ask it in our comment box below the story and we’ll take the first three every week and get one of the seven freeholders to personally answer your question for this column.

Here's this week's question:

From Collingwood Patch: There are several signs on South Park Drive in Collingswood and outside of the Camden County Golf Academy driving range on Route 130 in Pennsauken advertising a public notice. The signs have "Public Notice" in lettering large enough to see, but several paragraphs of small print are very difficult to read. What is this public notice about?

Answer from Freeholder Jeffrey Nash, who is liaison to the Parks department: The notice is to inform the public of plans by the state to widen that portion of Route 130, but we are not sure of the timing yet. It could take quite a while to get moving and the public will be provided with plenty of notice if there are any traffic pattern changes that drivers or pedestrians need to know about.
