East Brunswick Council Weighs Parking Rules, Mall Redevelopment Plan Monday

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — The East Brunswick Township Council will meet Monday, at 7:30 p.m. in the Municipal Courtroom at the Jean Walling Civic Center, with a presentation on the Brunswick Square Mall & Vicinity Redevelopment Plan headlining the agenda.

Kate Keller of Phillips Preiss Grygiel Leheny Keler, LLC will present Phases I and II of the redevelopment plan, which covers Block 131, Lots 7.01 and 20.01, and Block 131, Lots 20.03 and 20.04.

The council will hold a public hearing on Ordinance 26-24, which would amend the township code's time-limit parking schedule to add additional streets.
