[quote="Guest"][quote="Guest"]Here is a concept. Show up at a meeting and see what they are doing. These plans are in their very early stages. They really do not resemble what is being described here. There is so much misinformation that I do not know where to begin. Get the story straight, then begin posting.[/quote] I did make it to one meeting, they were all scheduled in middle of winter around the holiday season, but I also reviewed the master plan in detail, so I'm not sure what your point is. In the Cranbury master plan it even has example designs of what storefronts are acceptable as well as the specs for the zoning... and its not in character for what should be on main street in a historic village, IMHO.[/quote]

Both the white warehouse and florist buildings have been offensive to the Cranbury character ever since I've lived here. But I agree with you a long row of storefronts would also be offensive as I drive by that part of Cranbury. Plenty of places to live in NJ if you want that kind of thing near you, Cranbury village has a different feel that would be forever altered. Planning board should take example from places like Pennington, Allentown NJ, and even NewHope, New Town PA are better examples, rather then Robbinsville. Those places have been growing its downtown commerce without having developers build a stripmall in the middle of those historic districts. Robbinsville never had a historic area to care about what a huge mall would do to its character. What does the leadership at the historic preservation society have to say about these changes?? and what will they do?</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Feb 18 2011, 12:48 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Why Strip Mall on South Main was approved</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"> <br /> <br />18th century???
