The Market Street Bridge
October 23, 2018
Middlesex County Freeholder Director, Executive Director of New Jersey Transit, Mayor of Perth Amboy Wilda Diaz
Dear Representatives:
Kindly accept this letter of needed repairs to the sidewalk at the Market Street Bridge crossing near Elm Street in Perth Amboy, NJ.
“If you see something, say something” are terms used for safety purposes for all travelers along out transportation network. I am part of scores of local residents and commuters who are faced with a unsafe condition shown by the provided photos(2) where dividers provide for passage to downtown stores, schools, homes and the train station itself.
While the Market Street road was re-paved in 2018, it had left a concern about the road conditions for those who seek to walk around drivers in that area. Winter weather only increases the danger with snow and water surfaces making the dividers unsafe themselves.
Please allow for repairs or a temporary ramp so members of the public-like myself-can use the sidewalk again. I appreciate your instructing the construction crews or public works department of a solution to this urgent City of Perth Amboy issue.

Danger and Immigration
With all the news about the Corona Virus we need to contemplate how easy it would be if an illegal immigrant were to come into this country carrying some dread disease or virus. It should give one cause to think and pause and think. Before you scoff at my notion think of all the damage invasive insects, plants and animals have done to various ecosystems in our country and others. Trees destroyed because of insects coming over on ships, seeds of plants taking over other plants and animals introduced to foreign soil which kill native animals. This added to the fact that our country really doesn’t need any more people in it, illegal or otherwise. Iceland probably has plenty of room for people to settle! Thank you.
The Honorable Michael J. Rusznak
