The Township is awaiting the County's certification of the 2026 tax rate and cannot calculate final tax amounts until it is received. As a result, the mailing of tax bills is delayed. The standard 10-day grace period will be extended, and the revised deadline will be printed on your tax bill. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Traffic Calming
Traffic calming refers to a set of physical design measures and community-supported strategies aimed at making streets safer and more inviting for everyone. These techniques help reduce vehicle speeds, lessen collisions, and enhance safety and comfort for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Common methods include things like speed humps, curb extensions, raised crosswalks, and narrower lanes—all intended to encourage slower, more mindful driving.
Why This Matters to Montclair:
This definition aligns directly with Montclair’s own Complete Streets and Vision Zero policies, which prioritize safety, reduce speeding, and promote safer, more inclusive roadways. These calming measures support Montclair’s goals of lowering crash frequency and severity, improving the street environment, and encouraging active transportation like walking and biking.
