Hampton plans to take some gas station land for park-and-ride lot
“Hampton Township officials plan to use eminent domain if needed to acquire about half of the current gas station property at Route 8 and Duncan Avenue for a new park-and-ride lot.
The parking lot for commuters would be part of a $4 million package of flood mitigation and traffic improvement projects planned at the intersection, including new turning lanes on Duncan Avenue and Route 8.
“When we got grant money from the federal government to do the road work as part of the flood projects, the requirement was that we add this park-and-ride project,” said Hampton Council President Vic Son.
“I think that’s a perfect use for that land,” Son said after council members voted 4-0 at their Feb. 26 meeting to authorize the condemnation of approximately 1 acre owned by Von Ulrich Inc., a property management company based in Tampa, Fla. Councilman Cary Montgomery was absent.”
