I wonder what the Princeton municipality’s plans are to correct the problem with this crosswalk.

Did the contractor mistakenly Elon it the curb cut or will the crosswalk be relocated?

Hello; Several years ago, I informed you that the dilapidated, obsolete and antiquated electrical substation posed a life hazard. I described how a blast of blue lightning had set a number of girls standing in the library near me screaming, and how we had gathered in anticipation of this event, and were looking in that direction, the static charge being so palpable.

My tip resulted in action by Public Service, but much of this was cosmetic, with a new fence being installed.

Now, last week (Wednesday evening), another event occurred, this on Hinds Plaza. I didn't stay to see the outcome, but a family had gathered just after a rain shower at the tables I was moving in preparation for the weekly Farmer's Market, and since they couldn't speak any English, at all, I gave up right away trying to tell them of the danger of a lightning strike due to the proximity of the electrical substation, the light rain and the metal tables all gathered together, as they must be to hold the Market.

It was whispered the next day that something had happened to the family, but I could never get any confirmation or clear description of what had occurred, a blue-lightning strike, or what.

Now, I would like to suggest that a heavy-as-possible soft copper conduit pipe be placed under Wiggins Street from the substation to Princeton Cemetery, and then a hole drilled about thirty feet deep to accommodate the copper pipe and conduct lightning strikes to the water table.

Then, braided copper wiring, of the kind used for tree and house lightning rods, should be led to every high, outside corner of the substation. Six or eight rods should be used, at minimum.
The hole under Wiggins Street could be done with a https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/article/486796 Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) machine, and the machine could be set up in the graveyard.

I hope that you can readily persuade PSE&G to take the measures suggested, or some version of them that can be depended upon to remedy the defects described. I'd rather not continue because of the terrible memories, but I was hit by a blue-lightning strike that I believe originated at the station, and suspect that methane accumulating in the sewers and drains played a part. It wasn't nearby, but where electrical currents are concerned, even long distances can be very short. The substation ran the trolley all the way to Trenton, for example.

Province line road has not been paved for years. The patches applied a couple of years ago have deteriorated. It is a shame that we pay high rated taxes and have to come home on a bumpy road. Other townships are busy carpeting their smaller road and we have a busy road totally ignored.

Please change the pavement on Harrison st between Nassau St and Franklin Ave. Pavement covered in pothole and it is in horrible conditions to drive everyday.

Sump pump discharge directly to sidewalk.

I've heard several people say they are scared to park in the Spring St garage because they don't feel safe walking there: they are afraid of being hit by a car. I propose adding a clearly marked pedestrian way that signals to drivers to be careful about pedestrians. Thanks for considering!

I've been taking Franklin Avenue when driving and it has been bumpy for while. Please fix.

The new traffic light 206 Cherry Valley Road is horrible as those turning left need an arrow. Drivers block the street when they are backed up so those turning left can't turn. If a left turning arrow is added for the extra lane built, perhaps traffic would not be so tied up.

The Belle Meade Trap Rock Quarry is running six-wheeler, heavy dump trucks up Elm Road (and Great Road) at all hours of the day and night. This morning, it started before 4:00 a.m., but a few days ago, it was at 2:30 a.m..
The trucks are harmful in several ways.
First, it is impossible to sleep through a passing truck, even in the early morning, because of the vibration and the noise of the exhaust pipes which are not muffled sufficiently.
Then, the acrid smell of the diesel exhaust lingers and doesn't dissipate.
The question of the damage they do to the municipal roadway should be considered, as well.
They have the option of using Carter Road, which is a County Highway, and undeveloped, for the most part, but they choose to "roar into Princeton."
The company that runs this show (the Belle Meade Quarry) has been bought out of Kingston by South Brunswick, and paid not to get started in Bay of Fundy, Canada, by the Canadian Government. I suspect that they have lawyers on the line who are telling them to be just as loud and obnoxious as they want, since they are thereby increasing their chances of another buyout at their Belle Meade location. They have several quarries in the Mid-Atlantic region, and Belle Meade is probably the closest to heavy residential development while affecting nearby Princeton, as well. It's a natural for a buyout.
I would like to pursue the possibility of banning trucks of the kind used by the Belle Meade Quarry from Princeton's residential neighborhoods, including Elm Road. The trucks could reach Carter Road and Route 206 by either turning west on Cherry Valley Road and traveling a mile to where it intersects with Carter Road, or by going into Hopewell (not recommended), and turning onto Carter Road where it starts, there. Again, Carter Road is a County highway.

Snowden Lane between Harry's Brook and Smoyer Park, long a dangerous road to drive is now a disaster waiting to happen. Try driving it at night, in the rain, high beams coming up at you, potholes everywhere, no reflective road striping and a deep drop off at the margin. Compare this road to our low-trafficked but wide residential streets with their well-defined Belgian block edges.
Compare this ancient road's maintenance to that of the well marked Herrontown Road which as late as the 1980's was in-part a dirt path passable only by 4 wheel drive vehicles. Why is this dire situation been allowed to continue and indeed to worsen ?

I don't know what they are planning to do on Nassau Street in front of Olden, but the new crosswalk sign is build close to the middle of the sidewalk, the sidewalk is, now, in poor condition and a tripping hazard to pedestrians.
