[quote="More2"][quote="guest31"][quote="more 2 the Story"][quote="guest 54321"]It's not the highway noise itself that is annoying to a lot of us. Many trucks now are merely huge heavy shipping containers on wheels - not permanently fastened to the truck chassis. When these type trucks hit pot holes, the noise of the container bouncing on the truck frame is like a sonic boom. The resurfacing of Route 130 will hopefully eliminate that noise to some extent[/quote] I agree. Certainly living near a highway some amount of noise is expected and tolerable. However, in addition to the issue raised above, there are other factors driving up the volume. There is no enforcement of the ordinance against engine braking. The turnpike construction has driven more traffic onto 130. The road hasn't been fixed since the '30s. And the warehouse development continues to expand. Meanwhile the local plan to minimize the impact of the warehouse traffic, a bypass designed to siphon trucks off of Rt 130, has been canceled due to costs and other political considerations.[/quote] The Liberty Way project has not been canceled so much as stalled indefinitely. Technically the Township can't cancel it since they have a legal obligation to build it. But they can delay as long as possible. Its not "political considerations" that have stalled it, just pure costs since it will be way north of $10M+ to do so now. I don't think any taxpayer, of any party in town, would like us to shoulder all that if we don't have to.[/quote] I had heard the Liberty Way story a little differently. That said, the primary point of the post was to list some of the factors that make Route 130 stand out as a source of noise, light and air pollution. The fact is, there are few places in town that are insulated from the threat of increasing road noise, light and air pollution. Almost everyone lives along Rt 130 and/or OTR. So IMO we are best off working together to address these quality of life concerns.[/quote]

We also both pay for things that neither of us benefit from and we pay less for the services we do use than we would otherwise pay if we paid for them ourselves. Thus is the nature of taxes. <br /> <br />For example, I don't derive much benefit from the lake, yet I am not protesting spending millions of dollars to replace the dam. I consider it part of the common good. <br /> <br />The same is true of the library. Whether you agree with them or not, I believe there are enough interested people that it is a worthwhile topic. If the town votes to pay for it, then I will pay my share. <br /> <br />I think the wall is worthy of consideration because it will directly benefit a substantial number of Cranbury residents and have indirect benefits for the town at large. <br /> <br />Some of your ideas may also meet these same criteria. For example, the idea of having safe pedestrian paths throughout Cranbury is probably worthwhile of consideration, even though it may directly benefit a minority of residents. <br /> <br />Perhaps your pedestrian path idea and the wall idea will become part of a compromise plan to improve the residential infrastructure of Cranbury?</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>Flawd Logic</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, Jan 6 2012, 7:46 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Patch.com - Route 130 South in Cranbury to be Resurfaced</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>Problem wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">The problem with that logic though is that cost is in isolation.
