Now that spring has finally sprung, it is time for many residents to address what has become a growing issue in town over the past few years – sidewalks.

Last Saturday, April 22, was Earth Day, so let us take a moment to reflect on the gains we have made over the last fiveplus decades since that holiday began. We have done much as a society to accelerate environmental progress, yet there is still so much left to accomplish.

There may still be a bit of a chill in the air, but spring has arrived, as evidenced by Livingston’s baseball and softball fields finally being put to good use.

Dear Editor: The Federal Trade Commission has reported that consumers lost $5.8 billion to fraudulent scams in 2021 and projected the 2022 loss will exceed that amount.

Dear Editor: Why are Town Council meetings not on Zoom? They used to be on Zoom back when COVID was infecting more people.

Next month, the Livingston Trails and Greenways committee will host two Passaic River cleanups on Saturday, April 1, and Saturday, April 22. The first of the year was held on March 18, and there are several more planned throughout the spring. These cleanups, which the committee holds periodically on weekends in spring through fall, offer residents a fun opportunity to get to know a slice of Livingston about which many people are unaware. It is also a necessary task to keep the waters pristine for animals and humans alike.

Earlier this month, the Township Council approved a $170,000 contract with Gold Type Business Machines for the purchase of license plate reader cameras (LPRs). These cameras will be installed at specific thruways leading out of Livingston, in an effort to help combat the rash of car thefts that have occurred in town in recent years. Auto theft is certainly an issue, with over 100 cars stolen in Livingston in the past three years (and it must be noted that most, but not all, of them were unlocked with the key fobs left in them).
