In case you’ve somehow missed all the signs around downtown, check out the survey that the Rahway Center Partnership is conducting. As it says on the site, “Participate in the future of downtown Rahway.” The survey only takes about 12 minutes to complete and you’ll notice a direct link in the Local Links section, to the right.
In the spirit of the Rahway survey, check out the latest poll question.
As for the last poll, it was overwhelming in favor of video surveillance as long as it makes the area safer, with 15 of 20 votes (75 percent), compared to just three against (15 percent), and two (10 percent) who said it doesn’t matter to them.
Thanks to all who voted, and set a new Rahway Rising poll record, with 20 votes cast!…compared to 14 in the inaugural poll last month.

As for the Rahway survey; It would be nice to see a sign in the window of a functioning business asking for my opinion, rather than the boarded up/abandoned storefronts on Cherry St. If I get home to complete the survey after seeing these signs on the abandoned Bottle Shoppe and boarded up whatever that used to be place, I only conjure up the visions of how much work really needs to get done in order for this to be a viable place to live and raise a family. Westfield envy? Nah. I’ll compromise.As for the sidebar survey, while I personally would like to see a coffee shop/bagel joint, I don’t see that as being an anchor to the downtown as much as a brew house or some kind of destination that would attract people after the morning rush hour commute. And let’s face it, it’s gotta be food. If I need my Gap fix (which is never), that can be fulfilled anywhere.
