Compare the street lighting job done by our neighboring towns to the new street lighting job done in Edgewater Park

To see what I am talking about, you just need to ride through our neighboring towns that received street scape funding; Delanco, Riverside, Burlington, Mt. Holly, Riverton, Palmyra, Moorestown, Maple Shade, Medford, Bordentown and Medford just to name a few.
Please tell me why these towns managed to do an attractive job with the grant funding they received, for their street scape projects?
I am a naturally positive person, but I think the botched job we received is indicative of many decisions made by our township government. Even the Coat Factory did a much better job with the placement and uniformity of the street lamps they placed along their property.
I hope (I am an optimist) that the newer members of the present township committee, begin to exercise the common sense and good management abilities I know they have and get this town back to being a good place to raise a family and sponsor a boccie ball tournament at the new boccie ball courts (such a local demand for this sport).
It is scary! If I were an author of fiction, I couldn't make this stuff up for this blog story.

Our Township Officials showing their common sense skills
I hope these visual images, stir you, the taxpaying voters, to think about the people running our town and the impact their decisions have on your property tax and property value.

Amen about the lights!
Amen about the lights!
Could this explain why our town fathers seem to be in the dark?
OMG! You are so right! Thank you so much for this posting on the lights along cooper street! They have been a total eyesore! This is where the money went? Where did the REST go? I mean really!! I think the curb company did a better job on the sidewalks and the landscaping! Talk about STUPID! Lets just bolt nice black antique lighting fixtures onto brown wooden telephone poles and place stand alone fixtures at various places and every other corner! Not to mention that the lighting heads are so crooked and ones even missing across from memorial field!!!! BUT HEY!!! what do I know??? it's only tax dollars and grant money at work!!! Why couldn't they do what the coat factory did further down cooper street and make it all look professional and appealing??? I'm sorry...I keep forgetting who we have running our township administration....did I ask where the rest went?...Thank you EP reporter for bringing this to LIGHT! I'm sure (and HOPE) more residents of EP will now pay attention to this seemingly bad taste in judgement and placement. Maybe more will show up at the township meeting and voice their concerns!
(PS - Nice pics of the lights Other towns who have their act together)
