Street Opening Permits
Dear Highland Park Borough,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Copies of any street opening permits issued during 2025 along Rartain Ave/NJ Rt 27 between River Road and Woodbridge Ave. Additionally, if not the same, any permits for the same time period/geography issued in accordance with § 368-5 Obstructions prohibited; when excepted permit required.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Good Afternoon Chris T,
We in receipt of your OPRA request dated Nov. 10, 2025 "Copies of any
street opening permits issued during 2025 along Rartain Ave/NJ Rt 27
between River Road and Woodbridge Ave. Additionally, if not the same, any

There are no responsive records to this request. Raritan Avenue/Rte 27 is
a State roadway and I would suggest requesting said permits from the
NJDOT. Link provided below.
