March Meeting & Updates

The next meeting of the West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance is this Thursday, March 8 at 7:30 p.m., in room D (downstairs) of the Municipal Building at Clarksville Road. All are welcome.
Also on Thursday night, the Township Administration will present its Capital Budget projects relating to bicycle and pedestrian projects to he Township Council at 7 p.m. in Room A of the Municipal Building. We have met with the township about the their items included and will be making public comments (see our web site for more information). Through our lobbying efforts (and the efforts of others) we are glad to say that the township has increased its funding for bikelanes and sidewalks, although we are still working to maintain the township's focus on specific bike-ped priorities.
Good news! The State has approved the granting of a mid-block pedestrian crossing at Clarksville Road at the Avalon Watch apartment complex. Work on the improvements should be starting this year. We will continue to lobby the County and the State for a similar approval for a mid-block pedestrian crossing at Sherbrooke Drive and Rt. 571.
