County/State Democrats Have Forgotten Promises Made to Gloucester City/Brooklawn

In a 2023 CNBNews photo, South Broadway approaching Brooklawn from Gloucester City is shown flooded recently due to a heavy rain storm.
Are we asking the County Commissioners for too much by requesting a few more million to repave South Broadway in Gloucester City and New Broadway in Brooklawn? In 2012, the Freeholder Board (now known as Commissioners) promised to fix that road, also known as Camden County Route 551. Twelve years later, the public is still dealing with potholes and an impassable road that floods whenever there is a high tide or heavy rainfall. The five million dollars used to fix the bridge that connects those two communities in 2012 had no effect on the flooding of that stretch of highway.
Recently, those commissioners announced that $11 million would be spent to fix Kings Highway, which is currently referred to by some as a cattle path, in the communities of Mt. Ephraim, Audubon, and Haddon Heights. We feel before fixing that problem the Commissioners should take care of this 2012 promise first.
The Democratic Party owns the State of New Jersey. The Biden-Harris administration has doled out billions to fix a broken infrastructure throughout the country. Even so, it is obvious that the Democrats in this county and state have overlooked the promises made over a decade ago to the communities of Gloucester City and Brooklawn. It remains to be seen if those broken promises will be remembered by the voters in the upcoming November 5 election.
