Route 24 cannot handle more development

September 26, 2025

Everyone who has talked about the new shopping center on Route 24 that I have read says nothing about two schools being on same road. You want an experience, go to Love Creek Elementary at pickup or dropoff. I have watched cars sit in traffic lanes to cross into school. I see school buses going in the outbound side – yes, full of kids. Yet they want to put a shopping center and housing development there. When will Sussex County Council wise up? Our roads cannot handle it.
