The Crisis: Garbage Trucks are Displayed on Main St!



View from North Main St. in Pennington, NJ December 2007. Garbage trucks still remain visible on Main Street today.



Welcome to penningtoncrisis.org. I made this website to raise awareness of the unacceptable visual conditions at Pennington, New Jersey's municipal maintenance facility which is located on Main Street. The maintenance facility is used for garbage truck storage, yet the Borough has done minimal landscape screening, exposing Main St. to a community-wrecking visual display. Despite requests to obscure the garbage trucks, Pennington's borough council does not seem to believe a problem exists.

Fixing the problem is a simple matter that is not expensive. The borough simply nees to plant about 20 fast growing evergreen trees (Leyland Cypress, Giant Green Arbivitae, etc.) and within a few years the garbage trucks will no longer be visible. Currently an insufficient number of slow-growing spruce trees have been planted with large gaps between. With the current situation, Pennington will have a view of Garbage trucks for decades.
