NO NEW REST STOP on the GSP NORTH IN BLOOMFIELD/POLICE BARRACKS?

 IT WOULD MAKE SENSE THAT A MUCH NEEDED REST STOP BE BUILT WHERE THE OLD ONE WAS ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTH--BY EXIT 153--IN BLOOMFIELD, NJ.

THERE IS A THRIVING ONE THAT MIRRORS THIS LOCATION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE GSP. BY EXIT 150.

 A NEW REST AREA WOULD OFFER COMFORT FOR COMMUTERS (esp. those with children) THE LAST REST STOP IS WAY BACK IN UNION. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CLUE WHERE THE NEXT ONE IS-WTF?

  NOT ONLY DOES A REST STOP PROVIDE THE MUCH NEEDED BATHROOM FACILITIES FOR DRIVERS & THEIR FAMILIES, COFFEE AND A SHUT EYE FOR THOSE DRIVING TO STAY ALERT SHOULD ALSO BE AN INCENTIVE.

 THIS IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN REVENUE FOR THE STATE OF NJ OR THE TRANSPORTATION DEPT. RELIEVING POTENTIAL TOLL HIKES (I know I'm an optimist).

" Bloomfield officials said they were not notified about a planned $12.3 million New Jersey State Police barracks along the Garden State Parkway in town. It will be an upgrade to current State Police facilities.

Township Administrator Ted Ehrenburg told the Township Council on Monday that Town Hall received calls from Lindbergh Boulevard residents, whose backyards abut the Parkway.

Residents within 200 feet of the project were given notice. The state-sanctioned construction does not require Bloomfield Planning Board approval. 

Ehrenburg said the state could have notified Bloomfield as a courtesy.
"There was no communication with this township," he said. "We're their good neighbor. We want them to be our good neighbor."

Construction is slated to begin in "early 2013," on the northbound side, according to a notice from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which oversees the Parkway. Work is expected to be completed by May 2014, according to the agency.

Ed Brasseur, a Lindbergh Boulevard homeowner, said he understands the barracks' importance, but is worried about the noise and vibration from the proposed helipad on the property.
The existing station is 60-years-old and needs to be replaced. The new one-story building will be 15,500 square feet, and will include a gas pump island and new drainage system, in addition to the helipad..."
