"No Room On the Hill"

For those of you that haven't heard by now I switched jobs a few weeks back and now work in downtown Cherry Hill. The office building where I work isn't all that far from my house. The ride up really only takes about 20 minutes sometimes less, but usually 20 mins.

Riding back is another story, since I seem to get out at the same time every other person that works in 5 mile radius gets out.( Although I do work two staggered shifts).
Anyway what used to be the Garden State Race Track is being worked over to pave the way for more office buildings, shops, and maybe even apartments. The race track was located right near where I work.

Now its a real shame first off that the racetrack went the way of the IHL (two people got that). What makes it worse is that the town of Cherry Hill is either so greedy for money they will get for more businesses or just plain out stupid.

Figure that the office buildings will likely be highrises with several companies and floors. Just in one tower alone its going to be another 1,000 people on the road at least. Another 1,000 cars on a horrfically over used section of Route 70. Since so much of this area of South Jersey is employed in that area (cedent mortgage isn't far either which employees most people in the area than other company) route 70 is an absolute mess. The different streets, like Kingshwy, Burnt Mill Road, Haddonfeild Berlin Road..etc..are all way over jammed from the spill over of people coming off Route 70.

How can the state allow this? This area of the state is not only having horrific traffic problems,but many of the highways are in poor shape. There is times where there is literally is no where for these cars to go and you don't move through intersections. You just sit there.

Now add on at LEAST another 1,000 drivers (that is really a low est.) to the same area and you turn a problem into a disaster. What in God's names are they thinking? The area of South Jersey simply can not take it. It literally took me 50 mins to get home the other day from a place that is less than 15 miles from my house.

What does my state have to be so brain dead on transportation? Oh sorry I forgot about the Riverline.
