Sorry that is idiotic. A referendum to "look into" a parking solution. No, have the TC propose a solution and put that out to referendum. |

It isn't a matter of neighborly love or Mother Nature's snowfall. Neighbors aren't the only ones parking on the street now. Maplewood has become the new public parking lot in town. Take a ride, get stuck, and see for yourself. |
That makes no sense.
First of all, on most days and times there is still parking available on Main Street. Why would someone need to park of Maplewood if their destination is Main? I can see parking on Scott or Maplewood near Scott, but not the whole street.
Second, the former PNC site parking is too far from the Blue Rooster to ever have been a viable solution for people parking to eat there. They is virtually always far closer spots open on Main.
Someone is making up arguments. Don't let the realitic get in the way of a good story. |

| So is this a referendum on financing a parking lot for the Blue Rooster? Why don't they just build their own if they are causing so many problems. This should have been discussed before they opened! |

Put angled parking spaces in, this will increase the number of spots. Then put up parking meters. Then there will be no more parking problems, but there will be upset people that have to continually run out and put a quarter in the meter.
I am sure I will now hear how parking meters will kill the downtown businesses. I have to reply, what businesses? The only businesses that are worth anything are the food ones. |

| Most of the parking problem on Scott Ave. is from workers at the old Post Office now having to park on the road. Why was this building allowed to have so many workers with no parking of their own. Pretty sad the residents of that area have to have cars in front of their houses all day long. When leaving the school after picking up my children I am sometimes directed to turn right and then make a left onto Scott Ave. which is now almost a one way street. Try going down it at 8A.M. I have to ask we have a planning board? Stop favoring certain people and start looking out for the rest of the people that call Cranbury home. |

Workers from old post office???????????????
The only post office (been around for some time) has plenty of parking off of Park Place for the small amount of postal employees.
I do not understand where you came up with this crazy statement.

the poster is probably referring to the old "odd fellow's hall" that is now an office building, and yes most of the cars that park on maplewood ave. belong to people that work in that building. they all used to park in the pnc parking lot. before you start making fun of people, do some research please. |

The cars parked on Scott are mostly Blue Rooster customers. The Odd Fellows Hall did have a Post Office in it at one time. And, yes where is the Planning Board and The Township Committee, this topic has been around for awhile. |

| Great idea, why don't we turn every house on Main St. into a store or office building then let the tax payers build a gaint parking lot for them. Nice to know that some people know so little about Cranbury but are so quick to judge others. Like really there used to be another Post Office. Been here long? I understand there are 15 to 20 people working in that building,lets see where do they park? duh |

LOL It never gets old, this silly notion that we have a parking "problem" in this town.
Our parking problem is we don't have enough people coming to town to park in the first place. I have never lived anywhere else where parking was easier than this place. That's one of the perks. |

| Maybe for some there seems to be no problem. Really feel sorry for some if our parking problem is the best they have had. Quess when you come from NYC and don't have a car this is great. How could anyone who has lived in Cranbury for sometime not realize parking is a problem. People must go outside and see that it is not great. Question, Why are people allowed to open a business or subdivide there property if they don't provide for parking? It has alway been it is just a few more cars after awhile a few more at a time adds up to alot. But, as the new people say "thats old Cranbury". I'll take old Cranbury any day! |

You don't have to go to NYC to experience real "parking problems." Just go to Princeton. Or Hightstown for that matter. Is that close enough for you? Actually pick just about any real street-based mixed residential and business district, as opposed to strip malls or other places with their own off-street parking lots, and I challenge you to name one with overall easier parking access than Cranbury. Not in your hypothetical time capsule world of the ‘50's but in 21st Century realty (you did notice we're 11 years into the 21st Century didn't you?). I have to park on Main almost every day, sometimes coming and going several times a day. And it's almost always a piece of cake. I would even list easy parking as one of the benefits of the town. Even on major event days like the parade, fireworks or Cranbury Day I can find parking close by and that's unheard of in most towns. I could walk from one end of Main to the other in the time it can take to get parking in Princeton and in Princeton I would probably have to pay for it.
Every time this parking laughing stock comes up and someone challenges the posters to give specific, concrete examples of what they mean by a parking problem, they usually don't. But when people have it has been ridiculous. Walking 100 feet from your car to destination is just not a "problem." Not exactly sure what you expect. But I worry about your health if you consider that a problem. |
