Transit Bus Stop, Romanowski and Pershing Ave. Councilman Sitarz: As per our prior conversation please use this letter as a request that the N.J. Transit Bus Stop located at the corner of Pershing and Romanoski Ave be curtailed. The Carteret Post Office is located on the corner of Pershing and Romanowski Ave. The area during business hours of the Post Office is quite often congested with vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic. The arrival of the busses in the area only makes the situation worse. There are currently bus stops located at the intersection of Pershing and Washington Ave and near the intersection of Pershing Ave and Noe St (Sportsman Bldg). As you know both these bus stops are quite close to the intersection of Pershing Ave and Romanowski Ave, so there should not be much of an inconvenience for the people who currently board the bus at the Post Office area to board the bus at one of the other locations. N.J. Transit requires a resolution from the Borough of Carteret in order to implement this change. If you have any questions or comments with regard to this matter please do not hesitate to contact me. Respectfully Submitted, Chief John Pieezyski Copy To: Mayor Daniel Reiman
