Next Monday, November 16 at 7:30 pm in the Middle School 
we will have  
the opportunity to express our concerns about light rail 
to NJ  
Transit.  The forum will be as 
follows:  NJ Transit will give a half  
hour presentation about the project, then there will be a 
microphone  
provided for the residents to ask questions and/or comment 
about the  
proposal's viability for Tenafly.

Tenafly has a long history of resident activism.  
In the 1950's when  
the Palisades Parkway was being built, Clinton Ave was 
slated to be  
Exit 2 off the parkway.  Tenafly citizens 
made their opposition heard  
and the result was that Exit 2 was moved north to Closter 
Dock Road.   
In the 1970's, a developer wanted to buy the land  
that is now the  
Nature Center and build Fort Lee style apartment houses on 
the  
property.  Once again Tenafly residents made 
their voices heard. The  
development was stopped and the land purchased as a 
wildlife sanctuary  
for future generations to enjoy.

Now is our time to help preserve our community from 
becoming  
overdeveloped.   Come to the meeting with NJ 
Transit on November 16.
