NJ Herald/In survey, mayors say they worry about aging infrastructure

If you’ve ever driven through Newark, or Lakewood, or Vineland, or Morristown, or New Brunswick, or Jersey City or any other city in New Jersey, you know firsthand how poorly maintained or congested, outdated roads affect the quality of life.
