Notices
Recreation Notice
We received this from a Little League parent.
ATTENTION PARENTS WHO GO TO THE REC FIELDS at LOTT RD WITH THEIR CHILDREN: last night (5/12) a man approached a group of our kids playing on the playground and told them about coins he had superglued all around the park, encouraging them to find them and try to take them off. He showed them what was in his backpack. When a parent went over to investigate he ran into the woods. He looked to be in his twenties with long hair and dressed in black. Please be careful.

Sussex County Project:
County Route Photo Data Collection
Please be advised that Sussex County, through a North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority Highway Safety Grant, has retained the services of Enterprise Information Solutions to collect roadway images (photo log data) along Sussex County Routes.
In advancing this project the vendor, Enterprise Information Solutions, will have a vehicle traveling each County Route collecting photographic data of the roadway system. 
The vehicle used will be equipped with multiple cameras, GPS devices, and other data collection apparatus. The vehicle will look similar to the one depicted in this picture. We anticipate that the data collection portion of the project will begin on or about April 30th and require approximately two weeks. For more information contact the Sussex County Office of GIS Management at (973) 579-0430, ext 1320, or the Sussex County Division of Engineering at dpw@sussex.nj.us.
