As I'm sure you all know, our town was hit with a severe blizzard on January 22nd. The storm dumped nearly two feet of snow on the streets of Lakewood. The storm was accurately forecasted by meteorologists, and as such, should have been taken properly into account by the Department of Public Works. However, as is painfully obvious to all, the Township has done a horrific job of getting the roads plowed and drivable. Clearly there is a serious lack of planning, oversight, and most importantly, competence in Lakewood's Department of Public Works. The leadership must change and should begin at the top with the resignation of Department of Public Works Director Alvin Burdge. Please sign and share this petition with others so that hopefully, as a community, we can make some meaningful change.
