Barbara Lynam of 98 Coolidge Avenue, Carteret, NJ: why
about two (2) weeks ago, its not the first time it happened but the
Park lights are left on till 1:30 am. I don't have to put lights on in
my kitchen because its lit up. Is their anyone to shut them off, or
no one has driven by there to see if the lights have been turned
off?
The Mayor: Absolutely and they should have been shut off,
what happens is a lot of the leagues have keys to the box to put
them on an unfortunately sometimes they don't turn them off.
Parks Department and Police have caught it, there have been
times where we've seen certain leagues all of a sudden the son or
the daughter has a set of keys to go over there and turn the lights
on and they are playing not organized ball but it's a couple people
and they have gotten chased off the field.

Barbara Lyrm Barbara Lynam: What time are they supposed to be off,
around ten (10) or eleven (11)?
'Ile %yor The Mayor: Generally they have to be off at eleven (11) if they
go a little longer that's alright and the park closes around dusk but
that being said they are suppose to be out of there by ten (10).
We will share this tomorrow with the park supervisor and the
night guy as well, he is usually there till about nine (9) or ten (10).
So we will make sure that we keep an eye on that.
Kevin Urban Kevin Urban of 285 Randolph street, Carteret, NJ: with all the
construction on Noe St. some residents have asked me are their
anything in the plans to send a street sweeper down or something
to handle the dust?
Tlhe %yor The Mayor: the problem is with the sweeper as you know the
streets under construction and it's mostly rocks so were they are
digging up they are putting blue stone and construction grade
materials and so if the sweeper goes in there it's just gonna
sweep it up. We can spray it down but then you create mud so
it's a catch twenty -two (22). Right now it's dust otherwise you are
gonna have mud all over the place. But I will address it tomorrow
with the engineer and with the site manager. I drive by there
almost every day leaving here and you can see the trenches that
they filled with stone so the sweeper can even go over that. It will
just shoot the stones.
