Pedestrian, bicyclist safety among topics discussed

More than 40 residents came to the Cranbury School on Monday to talk about traffic and pedestrian safety.

During the three-hour discussion, officials and residents only made it through three of the topics listed on the agenda — school bus safety on Shady Brook Lane and various safety issues on Old Trenton Road and Plainsboro Road — leaving the last two topics, Main Street and Route 130 traffic concerns, for another discussion.

Residents who attended said they wanted to see changes made to areas such as Old Trenton, Plainsboro, Station and Cranbury Neck roads to ensure better safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, and especially children who use the roads. Many asked if the township could have the speed limits lowered on Old Trenton Road and Plainsboro Road. Others said a solution is to increase police presence.
