Residents of Glenmont Commons expressed urgent concerns regarding the deteriorating condition of their roads during a recent government meeting. Vijay Panchamaya, a community member, highlighted the ongoing safety hazards posed by potholes and uneven surfaces, particularly as winter approaches. He emphasized the risks to children riding bikes and seniors walking in the area, noting that many residents have been raising these issues for over a year without satisfactory resolution.

The township is currently engaged in litigation with the builder responsible for the roads, which have not been maintained for over 25 years. Panchamaya requested an update on the lawsuit, which is expected to yield a response from the builder soon. The township's officials acknowledged the frustration of residents, explaining that the builder had requested an extension for their response, a common practice in legal proceedings.

Another resident, Omkar Amorundi, inquired about the status of a proposed municipal bond to address road repairs, only to learn that the township cannot bond private property. This revelation underscored the complexities surrounding the ownership and maintenance of the roads, which have been a point of contention for residents who feel neglected despite paying full taxes.

The meeting also touched on two resolutions regarding potential redevelopment in the area, which were added to the agenda shortly before the meeting. Concerns were raised about transparency and the process by which these resolutions were introduced, with some council members expressing a desire for developers to present their plans publicly before any commitments are made.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the ongoing struggles of Glenmont Commons residents to secure necessary road repairs and the challenges posed by legal and bureaucratic processes. The township officials reiterated their commitment to resolving these issues, but residents remain skeptical about the timeline and effectiveness of the proposed solutions.
