Residents say New Milford farm heritage is threatened by drive-thru eatery, market, 24/7 gas station

Opposition by the Northville association to the $1.2 million development plans at Park Lane and Chestnut Lane roads is the latest protest by residents to a plan that would convert an empty 2.7-acre lot into a high-traffic site generating a projected 5,500 car trips each day. The residents are referring to a site that has been the subject of multiple development proposals since Valley Dodge closed in 2008, where an average of 11,700 vehicles pass daily, according to the state transportation department. To deal with the site’s expected heavy traffic generation, the developer proposes widening Route 109 and Route 202 to make turning lanes. The developer, Blue Mountain LLC, has studied the rush hour patterns at the intersection of Routes 202 and 109 and projects that the traffic lights would deliver the same “B” service level as they do today once the road widening is complete. New Milford’s Zoning Commission will continue its review of the controversial development on Tuesday.
