Petition Draft

Residents of Ewing Township living near Pardee Place, Duffield Driver, Holder Drive, and Willis Drive are facing an accessibility issue due to an overgrown easement between the properties at 24 and 26 Pardee Place. This pathway leads directly to Banchoff Park, a cherished recreational area for local families and individuals. Despite being an important access route, the easement has been neglected by the township for several years, becoming overgrown with dense foliage and debris.

Clearing this easement can significantly enhance community connectivity, providing a safe and direct route to Banchoff Park. This would not only improve accessibility but also encourage more outdoor activities, promoting a healthier lifestyle and less use of motorized vehicles to get to the park. The pathway's restoration would likely reduce traffic congestion as more residents would opt for this pedestrian-friendly route rather than driving.

Ewing Township's Board of Recreation is urged to prioritize the maintenance of this easement. By scheduling regular upkeep, the board can ensure that the pathway remains clear, safe, and usable for all residents in the area. It is the responsibility of the township to keep this easement clear so the residents of the neighborhood have access to the park. 

Join us in urging the Board of Recreation to clear and maintain the Pardee Place easement. This beneficial action will improve our neighborhood’s quality of life and strengthen our community ties. Please sign this petition to make our neighborhood more connected and accessible.
