What is it?
Teaneck Greenbelt Committee: The Committee was formed to protect the open space known as the “Greenbelt” along Route 4 in Teaneck by working with Township officials and NJDOT to improve safety and traffic flow along the highway. It is made up of representatives from various advisory boards, commissions and organizations in Township as well as interested residents. The Township Council has passed a Resolution, recommended by the Committee, to support the elimination of the eastbound bottleneck by widening the highway to three lanes in both directions. It has also been agreed that any land taken from the Greenbelt for highway improvements should be compensated by the State in the purchase of equal open space land within the Township.
