Heck, I don't see a problem even during our key parades or Cranbury Day, and if you don't have a problem then you never will. <br /> <br />It probably comes down to your definition of "problem" To me I usually find a spot within a few parking spaces of the exact place I want to go, which makes Cranbury the easiest place to park I know of anywhere, period. But on special occasions I may have to park on a side street or walk a couple blocks. What a crisis. Big deal. Join the rest of the world. That is not a problem. Let's say in the extreme case I had to park the equivilent of the distance between the lake and Cranbury Pizza. I never have, but let's just pretend. Is that a "problem"? Not by most towns standards. Yet even on Cranbury Day I don't have to park that far away to get within the area of the event.</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> </table>
