We moved to Plainsboro Road a busy, well traveled, scenic road. Because we are an active family we engaged in activities like biking, walking and running along our street. The two didn’t mix well, in 2005 our 16 year old daughter was struck and seriously injured by a car driven by an elderly, drowsy town resident ½ a block from our home, our dog was struck and killed in front of our house 3 years ago, speeding motorists regularly lose control of their vehicle on the “sharp curve” and end up in our yard and our neighbors yards. Add in the spill of water on the roadway from a hard rain and you can almost count on an accident. Pedal to the metal acceleration along the straightaway is a favorite pastime of impatient drivers along our stretch of the street. <br /> <br />Increasingly on any given day, Plainsboro Road is used by many other people hoping to enjoy some exercise and beautiful scenery. Today within ½ an hour I spotted a young women walking, a teen running, a small child and his dad biking and several groups of cyclists. Because of the very narrow road shoulder, less than 12” in some spots, there is not much room for a pedestrian to move off the road safely should an unexpected encounter with a vehicle occur. I personally know of 5 pedestrian accidents on Plainsboro Road in the past few years, I’m sure there have been others. <br /> <br />Ideally I would like to see some sort of pedestrian walkway connecting Cranbury and Plainsboro’s vast network of sidewalks, although realistically a wider paved shoulder much like the one recently constructed on George Davison Road would at least add a considerable amount of a safety to a very precarious situation. The volume of pedestrian traffic is unlikely to change as long as there is a large population on either end of the road looking to get out and enjoy the day. With the opening of the new hospital my guess is that we will soon see additional vehicular traffic along our street and through our town including speeding emergency vehicles. <br /> <br />I am aware that a traffic study was completed in 2005 or 2006 addressing this concern, at that time it was concluded that a wider roadway or shoulder would encourage faster vehicular speeds. While I can understand the conclusion of the study, we were left with no solution for the original problem, pedestrian safety. <br /> <br />I would again encourage the current township committee to consider instituting a future plan for a pedestrian safety measure for the roadway from the town proper to the Plainsboro expansion when the opportunity arises, perhaps when the next amount of utility construction or repaving is slated for Plainsboro Road. It is my understanding that there are state or federal grants specifically earmarked for pedestrian safety projects including the grant that was recently applied for on Old Trenton Road. <br /> <br />It seems like a simple measure to widen the road and/or it’s shoulder if and when other roadwork takes place, since the utility poles are at least 8 feet from the main road. It appears to be only a matter of making the decision to solve the problem . <br /> <br /> Thank you for your hard work and consideration and for being part of a truly special place to live. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />The Palagyi Family</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>
