Rt 130 Traffic Update

Continuing work on Route 130 Traffic Lights

Rt 130 and Chester Ave/Haines Mill Road is a part of an NJDOT Intersection Improvement project in Delran and other towns.  

The contractor is working on a traffic light project at Chester Ave and Haines Mill Road with intermittent closures on Rt 130. 

The contractor should start concrete work (sidewalks, curbs and electrical foundations), followed by electrical work (installation of Traffic Signal Poles, arms, traffic signal heads, etc). This is an NJDOT project and not directed by Delran Township.

What Can Be Done? Call 911

CALL 911

When you call 911, Delran officers are dispatched and will attempt to locate the source of the noise and then determine the appropriate Philadelphia Police District to report the issue. The appropriate Philadelphia police district’s desk sergeant is notified and can dispatch Philadelphia officers to investigate.  Unfortunately, Philadelphia police response time can be delayed if the call does not come from another law enforcement agency.

It took many different approaches before this process was worked out and there is no easy solution to this issue since it crosses state lines. Our New Jersey state legislature has passed a law to outlaw boom cars, but that only applies in NJ. 

We did have two boom cars come into Delran several months ago. They were met by Delran police shortly after they arrived and several citations were issued. They have not returned.

Delran Officer Honored

Congratulations and thanks to Patrolman Erdem Ucak for his selfless dedication to the community. On March 6th, Patrolman Erdem Ucak received the Valor Award from Edgewater Park Township.

On December 28, 2023, Ptl. Ucak responded to a fire at the Edgewater Manor Apartment complex in Edgewater Park Township. Ptl. Ucak and Ptl. Isael Torres-Jimenez (Beverly City Police Department) put their lives on the line to save a male still inside the fire. https://youtu.be/0uWLVTsyAmM

He will receive the Honor-Valor Award on Friday, March 8th from the Burlington County 200 Club assists and pays tribute to the county’s police, fire, and emergency squad members.

Trash

To clarify the process for trash pick-up: You can use the cans that are either provided or purchased from the Township or your own can, as long as they are the type and size of can that is able to be picked up by the automated arm.

However, if your can is damaged, you will be provided with a can either from the township or Republic. It will be the style of can that was received by you, or purchased by you if you purchased an extra can. It will not be replaced with the same type or brand of can that was damaged.

The township-provided cans are high quality and designed for the type of automated pick-up used by Republic. If you wish to have a second trash can, we suggest that you purchase the can from the township. It is $60.00 and will be delivered to your home. Please contact Linda in the Public Works department at [email protected]

Please leave your trash cans at the curb until your trash is collected.

If your trash collection is ever missed on your scheduled day you should:

  • Leave your cans out at the curb if they are not emptied.
  • Report a missed collection, email [email protected] at Public Works.

Please be aware that Public Works closely monitors the situation and reports all issues to Republic and the township administration. Not only are we holding the trash company accountable for missed collections, but we have also been diligent in assessing fines to the trash company when they do not meet the contracted obligations.

NOTE: Posting on Facebook is not reporting to the township. To report a missed collection, email [email protected] at Public Works.

Please visit here often for additional information regarding the ongoing Municipal Solid Waste collection issues.

Clean Up Kits

The American Red Cross, Burlington County, and Delran Township have set up a free distribution of clean-up kits for the Riverside Park section residents on Monday from 10am until 2pm (while supplies last). Once the supplies have been exhausted, we will take names and addresses to provide supplies to assist in flood cleanup. This is limited to Delran residents who were impacted by the flooding this week in the Riverside Park section of Delran.

Town Hall – UPDATE

We had a great time with more than two dozen residents from all areas of Delran. Councilwoman Nikki Apeadu, Councilman Lynn Jeney, and I answered many questions from the residents. I want to thank Berk & Berk and the management of Hunters Glen for being such great hosts. Also, thank you to some of the Outreach staff from County Clerk Joanne Schwartz’s office for helping many of the residents that night.

We will post on social media and here on our website with the time and date of our next Town Hall meeting in 2024.
