IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE OAKLYN POLICE DEPARTMENT

A MESSAGE FROM THE OAKLYN SCHOOL BOARD: Dear Oaklyn Community, This month, the NJ Department of Education (NJDOE) informed the Oaklyn Board of Education about a tax levy incentive aid program that allows school districts to adjust their funding beyond the 2% tax cap and secure much-needed resources for their students. Since 2009, this restriction has steadily widened the gap between the funding needed and what we can collect as part of the local tax levy. Without addressing this funding gap, our district faces difficult choices including larger class sizes, reduced program offerings, and insufficient curriculum supplies for Oaklyn students. The Board’s application to the program was approved and has considered all the options carefully. The Oaklyn Board of Education will present their adjusted school budget during the Public Hearing on Tuesday, May 6 at 5:30pm in the Cafeteria. We invite you to attend our public hearing as we present decisions about Oaklyn's educational future and the financial impact on residents. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to navigating these challenges together.

NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION Manor Ave from West Clinton Ave to Goff Ave The construction consists of partial roadway pavement reconstruction and overlay, concrete curb and associated improvements. The Borough awarded a contract to Pioneer General Contracting Company, Inc. for the above referenced project. The contractor anticipates commencing with construction on Monday, May 5, 2025, weather permitting. During the period of construction, residents and motorists may experience some inconveniences. However, the contractor will make every possible effort to minimize said inconveniences. Emergency vehicles such as fire apparatus, ambulance and police vehicles will have access to the roadway at all times. Local traffic will be maintained for a majority of the time, however, during the period of time that the contractor is working in the vicinity of your property, you may experience some inconvenience. The contractor will work with the residents to allow access to properties during the day. On the day of paving the roadway, all residents will need to have their vehicles removed from their driveway by 8:00 am. The section of roadway being paved that day will not be accessible for a six (6) hour period. Vehicles may be returned to your driveway later that evening. A detour will be posted for any overnight closures and daily work activities. In addition, we are requesting that you place your trash/recyclables out at the curb the night before the day of collection, so they can be picked up first thing in the morning. The contractor will provide notice to each dwelling advising of the commencement of construction. During the course of the project, we understand that there is a temporary need for residents affected by the project to park vehicles overnight on adjacent streets. Temporary overnight parking on adjacent streets and the Manor Lot will be permitted for the residents along Manor Ave that will be affected by the construction. All other violations will still be enforced. Your patience and cooperation during the time of construction is requested and sincerely appreciated. We are confident that the completed project will more than compensate for the inconveniences you may experience during the period of construction.
