N.J.S.A. 39:4-8 regulations. Additionally, two stop intersections created during new development of the Colonial Woods Drive are being added as well. k. 2900-25 Ordinance Amending Chapter 28 of the Revised General Ordinances of the Township of West Orange (Transition to Battery or Electric Leaf Blowers) (Legal) Science has shown that the noise, particulate matter, gas and oil fuel mixture being released unburned, and the fumes from burnt fuel are hazardous to the health of the workers, residents, particularly seniors and children and those with respiratory conditions, causing hearing loss and potential cancers, hypertension, cardiac disease, and increased stress levels. The practice of blowing leaves and other debris for property maintenance has unintended environmental and health consequences that disrupt and destroy animal, bird, insect and pollinator habitat, including adversely impacting the respiratory health of our pets. The Township wishes to continue to strengthen its commitment to public health and wellness and environmental sustainability and believes that the proposed amendments will help achieve greater equity and public health as well as quality of life. Commercial-grade battery-powered leaf blowers have become more readily available. The Township believes that the passage of this ordinance will more clearly reflect the needs and values of the West Orange community. l. 2901-25 An Ordinance Amending And Supplementing Chapter 4-6, Drug-Free School Zones, Subsection 4-6.2, Adoption Of Directive And Schematic Maps Of The Revised General Ordinances Of The Township Of West Orange (Carballo) This Ordinance amends Chapter 4-6 Drug Free School Zones of the Revised General Ordinances.
