Found these updated renderings from the Downtown Cranford Schematic Plan (2026) recently posted to the "Know" page on the main Streetscape Project site.

Project looks cool overall. Hope it moves forward, would love to see both downtown traffic improved and nice gathering places from the added pedestrian space!

As far as political attack pamphlets go, this is Junior Varsity level, at best.

Also, are we really supposed to believe Will Thilly is a victim here?

My wife wants to watch the game. She was planning to go to oak ridge Park but on account of the humidity wants an indoor option

A celebration of anime, video games and fandom is once again coming to the community center this Saturday, July 18. The Cranford Public Library's Tosho-Con event will feature an escape room, candy sushi, panels, cosplay and more to celebrate the genre!

Brayden Fry, known most recently for his homerun in this year's CHS sectional final to put his team well over the top, got MLB drafted yesterday to the Baltimore Orioles. His former teammates, friends and coaches gathered at a friend's house to celebrate with him. His dad said baseball has always been a vehicle for the family connection. Congrats Brayden and the Cranford baseball family!

The much-anticipated opening of Fluffy Fluffy happened today with balloons, a ribbon cutting and a line of customers waiting for the doors to open.
The new cafe, at the corner of North Union Ave. and Alden Street, features the airy Japanese pancakes, which are light, puffy and can be topped with cream and fruit. A different way to pancake right in our downtown!

And here we go again….

Members of the Cranford Township Committee joined in a national, simultaneous reading of the Declaration of Independence. Americans in hundreds of sites read the declaration in towns across the country at 6pm on July 8 to commemorate the first public reading of the declaration 250 years ago.

Matt Zatorsky, a manager at Orange Ave. Pool, and his Orange Ave Pool lifeguard friends show us how to do the perfect cannonball with maximum splash. The winner gets fries from the new snack stand! Come have fun with Matt and friends hanging at your pool!
This is a joint project with Cranford Recreation & Parks and TV35.
(A reminder that cannonballs are only allowed in the diving area at the pool.)

Our elected officials can act swiftly and decisively to curb e-bike use and maintain our destructive car centric culture. How many people have to die trying to cross Rt 22 before we build a bridge?

Woodmont properties is the developer/manager behind Woodmont Station here in Cranford. Scotch Plains tapped them to tackle planning and re-development of a bunch of parcels near Park Ave and Westfield & Bartle Aves in their downtown area.

The attached photos and linked PDF were shared during a recent public information session earlier this week.

Overall proposal is to:

- relocate and consolidate Police/Fire/EMS HQs to a parcel on Plainfield Ave
- Build 350 housing units and 10k sf of retail space across 2 “districts”, And move the Town Hall and library onto a new 3rd district, each with new parking garages as well.
- Full build out over 7-10 years.

Cranford's Relay for Life fundraiser was approaching $80,000 Friday night and hopes were high that more would come in. Relay for Life is a community event and schools' event that raises money for the American Cancer Society. This year's night featured a moving ceremony in which everyone affected by cancer walked the track with a lit glow stick.
You can still donate by going to their webpage by googling Cranford Relay for Life.
