Mullica Township is a Pine Barren community without a town newspaper or news letter, no televised or internet committee meetings and no press reporters at the meetings.
The Gadfly tries to fill the void by alerting the residents of meetings, events and articles of local interest from various sources. Most importantly, it gives a voice to the people. All residents are invited to share their opinions with anonymity or signed under each article posted.
Everyone is invited to send in articles of interest, announcements, letters of your concerns or opinions and even tips about what's going on in your neighborhood that needs investigation.

This is an accident-prone location along the WHP, especially when resident drivers and their passengers are stopped in the eastbound lane, waiting for westbound traffic to clear during rush hour to turn into Wharton Park. The Township couldn't care less.
The White Horse Pike (Route 30) is a state controlled highway. The intersection at Wharton Park Boulevard is also controlled by the state, despite the fact that Mullica Township controls the boulevard. This stretch has notoriously been a safety issue - it is a long, straight and dark stretch of roadway, and the rise in the roadway peaks in the vicinity of this intersection. Efforts were made to improve safety on this stretch with the cutting of a median "rumble strip" in the center of the roadway. Could safety be improved in this stretch? Undoubtedly, yes. I will be more than happy, as the Mullica Township Public Works Director, to contact our state officials to request additional safety improvements on the Pike - especially given that the state plans to make improvements on the Pike in Mullica Township in the near future. I don't hold my breath and expect the state to meet their "target dates" for these improvements - however I will pass along the concerns of Anonymous 11:36 poster to the State, as I have done (to either the State or County) when road complaints have made to me.
There is no reason for regular folks to bear concerns and not directly request appropriate remediation or "fixes" from their elected public officials. All you have to do is reach out - if it is something that concerns Mullica Township Public Works, I will be more than happy to hear your concerns. If it isn't something that I have control over, I am ( and have) been able to contact the appropriate state and county officials to find solutions.
I will reach out to the State to pass along your concerns about the Pike.
