[quote="anon-4223"][quote="anon-q2r7"][quote="anon-4223"]Lol. Take a ride down N Main, Cranbury new, Old cranbury. We have preserved tremendous amounts of farmland and kept our character because of the funds from the warehouses. Then drive around Rt 33 in Robbinsville, drive by the Amazon center there or drive around s Brunswick, Monroe, West windsor and see the housing and school issues. Ask Monroe about their School Superintendent saying they can’t deal with the growth and need state aid, s Brunswick, West Windsor or Robbinsville residents about their school taxes and growth. Cranbury has it much better than any of those towns. When faced with opportunities to preserve land the town has done it. When faced with development the town planners for 30 plus years have taken the choice that stops housing and provides revenue to buy the land.[/quote]Lol! Kept our character. That depends on what side of town you enter from. The new townhouses, Cranbury Greens, or the Warehouses on Station road have a lot of character. Now I understand you can’t stop progress, however don’t lie and say we have kept our character.[/quote] Are we a small town? Do we have a HS and middle school? Do we elect the same 5 member TC or have we changed like other towns? Do we have a lot of preserved space? Is our historical society still valued? Our fire and first aid volunteer? There is a difference between growth and character. We have not stopped growth because not every farmer or developer will sell their land to the Town. The town cannot mandate no growth. Though I am sure they would like too. But where growth has happened they have done their best over 30 years to limit the impact of that growth.[/quote]

Let's have the "friend" come forward with first hand information or it didn't happen.
And what a stupid claim at that. Michael Ferrante's connection to the library and library campaign are public information, not secret scandal.
People like you are trying to one-up Trump with the level of bald face lying.

On the matter of 2 or 3 police officers on duty at any one time. 2 was the number before the addition of the extra traffic Enforcement personnel, so if we are now back at 2, what happened?
Now, after all the complaints about speeding. and the announcement of this Enforcement squad, we are back to illuminated signs stating their is Increased Police Presence, where, where? How about a few cardboard cutouts of Police Officers, that will really trick all the speeders.

Not so sure about that 3 officer statement. I’ve stopped and spoke to our officers and I encourage everyone to do the same. Most of the time there is only 2 officers working. Maybe we should be discussing that instead of arguing about the twp attorney fighting with Monroe. Does our new town council plan on addressing our police because the Master plan doesn’t.

2. Did the Master Plan consider that Tractor trailer drivers would have to navigate through these tiny streets when a detour became necessary or when they are lost due to lack of any guidance as occurred this morning.
That traffic was crazy. And with all the warehouses more accidents are going to happen. This will be a way of life in Cranbury. What I didnt understand is why the highway was closed for over 6 hours for an accident. How bad was it?
Not sure if this is the case, but in the event of serious injury or fatality police will close the highway while they conduct their investigation. While certainly inconvenient I doubt this is going to become a regular thing.

Wow. If it was over 6 hours then that is the longest time ever and certainly an outlier. We still have many more car accidents than truck accidents. The area is just much larger than it was 5, 10, 15 years ago. Monroe and East Windsor have grown. We’ve been forced to add over 100 affordable homes.

There is also a sign on Maplewood that says 25MPH. No one reads that either. 3 Police officers on duty is a lame excuse. Call in more when a situation arises. The traffic jam went on for hours. Who is our Police Chief now. The Halloween parade was held indoors so we did not see the annual cameo appearance from the Chief this year

There is a sign on Maplewood as the other poster stated so the trucks ignored the sign and broker the law. We have 3 officers on duty during the day so having one stationed at every alternative road is not a reality.
The other supposition that all the trucks on Maplewood are from Cranbury warehouses is incorrect. There are Monroe and East Windsor warehouses going south as well off 130. The traffic on Main st was horrible too. Taking my kids to school I had to let one parent out of their driveway was they would have sat there for a long time. And Main st was all cars. The traffic in this area is just bad.
The circle is bad, but not a township road that the town can resolve. They did state numerous times that they are trying to work with the state and county on a plan and there is a plan under review. Years ago the state was ready to redo the circle, but residents came out opposed so the state walked away.

If I’m not mistaken, there is a sign on maplewood Avenue before the first aid building that says No Trucks. So I’m curious what else should be done. There is a sign up all day and night and regardless if there was a crash, it still means no trucks.

Whenever there is an accident on Dey Road between Route 130 and Petty Road [a regular occurrence] the trucks and cars going east toward 130 have no where to go except Petty Road. You never see the traffic directed away from that area that cannot handle the giant tractor trailers. Sometimes the traffic has backed up from Plainsboro Road all the way to Dey Road and there is no police presence to direct the traffic once they get to Plainsboro Road.

This is terrible. I hope the master plan has a solution for the increased truck traffic in general and the intersection on 130 South end of town. The circle. There are always accidents there as well.

We preserved roughly 3,000 acres of farmland thanks to a our farmers and a well thought out master plan and our long term residents who backed farmland preservation. This land could have been sold by our farmers for a much higher prices to developers had we not taken this route, and we would be like every other surrounding town (ie., West Windsor, Monroe). So no, it is not just Main Street that has been preserved. We have preserved our farmland, our excellent school, and maintained a fiscally sound township budget.
