A decade after originally granting approval for a 487-unit development on the former Wheatena property, the Planning Board approved revised plans for a second phase that will substantially increase parking ratios.
A temporary parking lot for the Brownstones development would remain in use for at least a year after the second phase of the 480-unit development is completed, under legislation passed last month.
A public hearing will be held Nov. 6 at 6 p.m. in Rahway City Hall on a proposed change of use — a dog park — at the Wheatana section of Rahway River Park.
The next installment in a series of recent murals will feature prominent people from Rahway’s history on the side of a four-story building near the Linden border.
A half-million-dollar dog park in the works since last year is planned for Wheatena Park, specifically along Elizabeth Avenue across from Meridia Brownstones.
The second phase of Meridia Brownstones would significantly boost the number of parking spaces originally approved for the entire project a decade ago.
