Quick Chek On Board's Agenda Wednesday

An application to build a convenience store and gas station on the site of the former State Police Barracks on Allenwood Road is scheduled before the Board of Adjustment Wednesday.

The plan, , has been vigorously opposed by neighboring residents.

The application has not been heard since February, when representatives from proposed an alteration to their original plan to get people into and out of the site from Allenwood Road.

Instead of putting traffic onto Allenwood Road near the existing jug handle, the new plan calls for extending access beyond Allenwood Road about 150 feet before meeting up with the jug handle, according to Charles Olivo, a traffic engineer for .

The plan would require state Department of Transportation approval, Olivo said.

The majority of traffic, up to 80 percent, would be entering and leaving from Route 138, Olivo said. The configuration they propose for Allenwood Road would be sufficient to handle any proposed traffic from the site, Olivo said.

Neighboring residents were unimpressed.

“This methodology doesn’t bear up the what we experience every day in Wall Township,’’ said Michael Farrell, of Parkwood Drive.

The Board of Adjustment is scheduled to meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at town hall, 2700 Allaire Ave.
