PARSIPPANY — Elmo is an eight-year old Staffordshire bull terrier who found himself homeless when his human dad went into an assisted living facility.
Besides his sad situation, he doesn’t let it get the best of him! He is as sweet as can be! He approaches everyone he meets with a wagging tail and his long tongue flapping around.
Elmo would do best in a home with children above the age of six since he prefers a calmer environment. Elmo does great with other dogs big and small as well!
This loving boy is house trained and has moderate energy. He is fully grown at about fifty pounds and is short and stocky, true to his breed. He is quiet dog who aims to please (and snuggle!).
Elmo can’t wait to have a home to call his own again! He will make sure your days are filled with sloppy kisses and good company!

MORRIS COUNTY — New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials announced the completion of the I-80 westbound bridge over Route 46 in Roxbury, Morris County. In order to restore the normal traffic pattern on the newly reconstructed bridge, an overnight lane closure is necessary to remove the I-80 westbound traffic shift that utilized a temporary bridge.
Beginning at 9:00 p.m. Thursday, December 27, until 5:00 a.m. Friday, December 28, NJDOT’s contractor, Ferreira Construction Co. Inc., is scheduled to restripe the roadway to remove the I-80 westbound traffic shift which utilized I-80 eastbound over Route 46. Motorists on I-80 westbound will return onto the newly reconstructed bridge. The speed limit will remain 50 mph in the work zone as final construction continues.
Once traffic is shifted back to the new bridge, the temporary bridge will be removed and work will begin on reconstructing the I-80 median and abutment wing walls. Additional remaining work includes constructing a concrete island in the Route 46 median, as well as final work on curbs, guide rails and inlets.
The $15.1 million federally-funded project advanced in stages, first replacing the I-80 eastbound bridge, followed by the I-80 westbound bridge. Each two-span concrete bridge was replaced by single-span steel girder structure with concrete bridge decks. The vertical clearance was raised to 14 feet-9 inches to improve safety for tall vehicles on Route 46. In addition, the bridge piers located underneath each bridge were demolished and replaced.
In order to minimize impacts to motorists, a temporary I-80 bridge with two travel lanes was constructed in the median area, and a third lane was provided on each new bridge to maintain three travel lanes in each direction as construction progressed. Work on the first bridge, I-80 eastbound was completed in August 2018. Three travel lanes were maintained at all times during the reconstruction of the two bridges to minimize impacts to motorists. Final construction is expected to be completed by early 2020.
Variable message signs and lane closure signs will be utilized throughout the project limits to provide advance notification to motorists of all traffic pattern changes associated with the bridge replacement project. Throughout the project, NJDOT will provide information before upcoming road closures.
The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website www.511nj.org for real-time travel information and for NJDOT news follow on Twitter @NJDOT_info and on Facebook page.

PARSIPPANY — During the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council Meeting of Tuesday, December 18, the vote on the proposed redevelopment of vacant commercial property, formerly occupied by Intel, at 1515 Route 10 has been tabled. Steve B. Pearlman, attorney for Stanbery Development Group made the request to the Township Council.
Pearlman said “I listened to Attorney Leslie London’s a presentation which was very informative. I appreciate that the council has a lot to consider with your (Council on Affordable Housing) COAH situation. We also know that I lecture state and nationally on pilots and (Redevelopment Area Bonds) RABs and I know they’re complicated because I talked to audiences for people who are involved in this field. We don’t want you to be force fed. We want you in the community to understand this project and frankly evaluate the way we value it. We spent a lot of time working on this question and answer document that we’ve left copies for everybody. We really would like people to look at it, understand it, because we’ve sat here through several meetings and I believe on that sheet we’ve answered every question that we’ve heard and we think that when you take this all in context, as I understand from your attorneys presentation, you have a very short window to figure out your COAH situation because you’re in that settlement litigation. So why would they ask him that spirit of trying to get something that everyone is happy with, that you tabled the motion for tonight? Everybody take time, get better informed, and then at a future date were rescheduled with the town attorney and let’s come back and vote in that case.”
The project will be re-noticed to the public in 2019. Parsippany Focus will update on upcoming meetings.
The redevelopment plan approved on September 25 is for construction of 100,000 square feet of retail space and restaurants with 441 residential units, 33 of those units to meet COAH requirements. (They are required to have an additional 34 COAH units, which they will pay Parsippany’s Affordable Housing Fund $3.3 million dollars.)
Stanbery Development also is the owner of The Shoppes At Union Hill, on Route 10, Denville.
The building was previously occupied by Intel. The main building on the property has three stories plus a lower level. The gross floor area is 237,300 square feet. It was built in 1984. The building is unoccupied.
The second building, to the south of the main building and connected by a second story walkway, is three stories and has a gross floor area of 71,231 square feet. It was built in 1999.
