Vibhav Chaturvedi Builds a New Path
Submitted by Ronald Weinger
On September 24, 2022, an accessible pathway from Horseshoe Road to the community garden on the property of the Littell-Lord Farmstead in Berkeley Heights was dedicated. The pathway, 130 feet long by 4.5 feet wide, was constructed as an Eagle Scout project by Governor Livingston High School Junior Vibhav Chaturvedi. Mr. Chaturvedi began the planning in November 2021. He chose the material, made the ground plans, obtained the necessary permissions, arranged for construction assistance, and, most importantly, raised the money to purchase the pathway supplies and rent the construction tools.
In this project, he was supported by his parents Anil and Tulika Chaturvedi and his younger brother, Sambhav. Attending and speaking at the ribbon-cutting ceremony were his Scoutmaster Peter “Scott” Masonis, Mrs. Shashi-Bhardwaj, Berkeley Heights Mayor Angie Devanney, and Historical Society of Berkeley Heights President and former town mayor Daniel Palladino. Also attending the ceremony were Town Council members John Foster, Jeff Varnerin, and Manuel Couto.
