Replacement plans flop

It hasn't been an easy ride so far. Manalapan-based Sun Pacific Power, the township's vendor, had plans to install bus shelters along Route 9 at no cost to taxpayers.

But those shelters, which went up at Lanes Mill Road in Howell and at Schibanoff Lane and in front of Burlington Coat Factory in Freehold Township, came with digital advertising, drawing the ire of the state Department of Transportation, which feared they would distract passing drivers. While Sun Pacific Power obtained municipal permits for the shelters, no one thought to call the state, which ordered the digital signs turned off.

"We have no permit authorized to put a bus stop at that location (Edinburgh Drive)," Township Administrator Peter Valesi said. "None of the bus stops were authorized."

Steps not followed

The state has given the township "step-by-step procedures" to place "legal" bus stops, said Township Engineer Timothy White. "Apparently, that wasn't followed way back when at Edinburgh Drive and other locations."
