In Montclair, fights to keep Forest Street's backyards continues. From today's Star Ledger, news that Forest street resident Neal O'Shea will have his day in court.
O'Shea and several of his neighbors are listed as plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the boundary-line shift, which was approved by Montclair's council in a 5-2 vote on June 21.
"We're trying to stop them from paving paradise and putting up a parking lot," said their attorney, Laurence H. Olive, taking a line from the 1960s Joni Mitchell song.
The civil lawsuit, dated Aug. 24, was hand-delivered to Montclair's town hall this week, leading to a meeting yesterday morning between Olive and Alan Trembulak, the township attorney, along with Superior Court Judge Donald W. Merkelbach in Newark.

Although you had little sympathy for my plight, Denise O'Shea, when it came to receiving parking tickets on North Fullerton Ave.,it doesn't mean I don't in your situation. It stands to reason that any boundary change to your backyard to accomodate plastic surgery patients, who will share a common driveway with you, really sucks! For zoning laws to be changed to favor this business must have been unthinkable to you. I do hope Neal is successful in his court battle.
