On Dec. 9th , Englewood’s Planning Board adopted a bewildering 10-year redevelopment plan (officially called the “Master Plan”) to develop apartment buildings in single-family neighborhoods. Despite a standing-room only crowd of 150+ residents who unanimously objected to the plan, it passed by a vote of 9 to 1. Attendees wondered if the Board was even listening as distracted Planning Board members, texted and dozed—ignoring the public.

If that insult to the public wasn’t enough, the meeting was held in violation of state law. Residents lined up in the hallways and were not allowed into the public meeting because of overcrowding. Why was a venue with such limited capacity chosen when so many other options were available?

Our politicians are elected to serve the public interests and protect our way of life. People live in Englewood because they value its suburban quality of life and its demographic diversity. Those seeking an urban lifestyle choose Hoboken, not Englewood. 

How can the elected politicians vote for a plan that will change our neighborhoods forever and rob us of the quality of life that Englewood residents have enjoyed for generations?
