At a recent Bay Head borough council meeting, Mayor Curtis pushed back in response to NJ Transit’s construction plans for Bay Head. The proposed building would house various mechanical and generating equipment. In addition to the fact that the building would be an eyesore for the town, the Mayor objected to the fact that though NJ Transit is not required to appear before the town planning board (state projects are exempt), they did not see fit to take this extra step, simply as a courtesy, and in recognition of their generally amicable relationship with the town.
“They want to combine the facilities and put it into one building, which would rise 52.5 feet in the air — that’s roughly 10.5 feet above our maximum rules and regulations,” he said. “And New Jersey Transit has the gall to say that it fits in with the historic value of the train yard.”
