Walking the Walk & Talking the Walk

Thanks to everyone who turned out on a cold and rainy evening for our walk along the "S" curve on Alexander Road by the D&R Canal last Tuesday night. About twenty residents of West Windsor and Princeton walked along the roadway and brainstormed about potential improvements.



The Princeton Packet featured an article about our efforts to raise awareness about this walk and how we want the planned improvements to include bicycle and pedestrian access – right now there isn’t any! As a follow-up we discussed having a joint-township meeting with residents...date to be scheduled for this fall, and word will go out.

I would like to suggest continuing the blacktop off-road lane that ends at the Princeton Township border into West Windsor for shared use by bikers and pedestrians, on the south-side from the canal to Canal Point Blvd. Additional overhead lighting is alos need.

Please add your comments, impressions and suggestions. ~ Susan

p.s. the recently re-stripped lanes are visible -- this improvement is a great first step:
