Locals charge that South Orange Avenue will become crowded and noisy; quality of life will suffer
Seton Hall University's plan to build a new University Center has drawn ire from nearby residents. A number of locals have launched and signed a petition to ask town officials to hold off on granting permission for the project. As planned, says the petition, the construction will "have a detrimental effect on a large part of the open space along South Orange Avenue and the neighborhoods surrounding it."

The construction plans (attached) suggest that trees and grass that now fronts South Orange Avenue will give way to paving. South Orange representatives informed trustees of …
