Accordingly, people use their cars more which then leads to the congestion and traffic problems seen in many other areas. Mr. Schuber, what do you think about Bergen County's infrastructure and about our road system, specifically the Route 4-17 intersection as mentioned by Jeff. Bergen County has huge malls and connects New Jersey to New York. It also has several sports teams, and to see the New York sports teams you must pass through Bergen County. It will continue to be a huge traffic area.
Blue laws calm the traffic down for a day a week.
There will be disagreement with every issue, no matter what. The only thing you can do is go with the majority, which is this case means a day with no shopping to calm down the traffic. I believe it is the most congested intersection in the state. In the past, many people complained about it, but nothing was ever done to correct the problem. The County of Bergen has provided the leadership necessary to coordinate the efforts of our federal and state legislators, the town of Paramus, the Department of Transportation, and the Governor, to provide a realistic plan of reconstruction, as well as the funding for that intersection.
