Cumulative Flooding and Stormwater Management
Residents and board members raised serious concerns about flooding risks and stormwater runoff from large new housing developments, particularly during major storms. Testimony highlighted how stacked weaknesses in infrastructure, wetland removal, and undersized drainage can lead to severe neighborhood flooding.
Traffic Congestion and Road Safety
Locals voiced deep frustration over worsening traffic gridlock on connector roads like Benton Road, Gilbert Road, and Old Lennon Road, noting that multiple new subdivisions are severely straining local road networks and delaying emergency response times.
School Capacity and Rapid Population Growth
The board and public reviewed school capacity data indicating that several area schools, such as Supply Elementary and South Brunswick High School, are nearing or projected to exceed 100% capacity in the coming years due to rapid residential growth.
