We oppose the proposed strip mall, Ross Mocci Plaza, to be built at the corner of Ross Street and Amboy Ave. in Woodbridge, New Jersey. This strip mall would be located across the street from an elementary school and directly across from the school playground where young children enjoy recess and physical education classes on a daily basis. Once completed, the strip mall will eliminate much needed on-street parking; introduce unecessary traffic congestion and additional traffic volume around Ross Street; and most importantly, threaten our children\'s safety by attracting transients and strangers to the area and introduce a safety hazard to the children who walk to and from school.
Sadly, no one can offer a one hundred percent guarantee that a violent or serious traffic-related incident will not occur once this strip mall is built. The young children of this township should be our first priority. Say \"No\" to Mocci Ross Plaza.
This petition is open and ongoing until a planning board hearing date is scheduled by the township. Help us reach our goal of 1,000 signatures. Email this website address to all of your friends, coworkers, and family anywhere in the U.S.
I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this effort to protect our neighborhood kids. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I never thought we would see this kind of turnout.

NO WAY. My daughter walks that path every single day. Stop this before someone gets hurt.

Keep our street safe! The kids have enough to worry about on that busy road without more cars everywhere.

Ridiculous idea. Who puts a strip mall right across from a playground?? Woodbridge planning board better wake up.

The traffic there is already way too heavy during drop off. Adding a strip mall is just asking for a tragedy to happen to one of these kids.

Unbelievable. Kids need to be able to play at recess without worrying about cars and strangers. Put this somewhere else!
