Trees removed from Parkway leave neighbors without a buffer

Ever drive down a highway and wonder what it’s like to live within honking distance of the noise? You’ll be wondering that more now.

As part of the Clear Zone Maintenance program, trees close to the Garden State Parkway are being removed to keep drivers safe from falling debris. And the neighbors who live just on the other side of those trees now have a clearer view of the highway.

The Press of Atlantic City reports the $5.9 million project will keep the parkway free of driving obstructions, despite objections from neighbors and the New Jersey Sierra Club.
