Election day is Tuesday; here is a summary of candidates' positions from the October 18 forum.
There were few surprises at Thursday night's Maplewood Township Committee debate, and on the majority of issues the three candidates seemed to find more points of agreement than contention. The forum, which attracted a crowd of roughly fifty people, was sponsored by The Hilton Neighborhood Association (HNA) at the DeHart Community Center in Maplewood. (Editor's note: Patch recorded the debate and the videos are attached to this article in 8-15 minute increments. The question on programs candidates would propose for seniors did NOT make it into the video; apologies for that.) Democratic incumbents Kathy Leventhal and Jerry Ryan, and Republican Art Gartenlaub are running for two seats on the committee on Nov. 6. The term for each position…

Slowly but surely, the trail is being blazed by the Parks Department.
You might have noticed those eye-catching person-riding-a-bike figures painted on some Maplewood roads lately, or the round green signs. They are the beginnings of the Maplewood Bikeway Network Plan. Started in May, the township called the initiative a “great step forward,” and one that reflects the desire of a lot of residents to do more bicycling. From health and wellness to inexpensive recreation and the obvious advantages of having another form of transportation, the path is inexpensive and is expected to be used heavily. Township Committeeman Gerard Ryan told Patch that the path is still very much in the beginning stages and they are looking at it taking a “long time to completion,” but as work progresses, the town will add more bike …
