"There is a lot happening here, we've got a lot of corporate folks here and new folks coming into the region. At some point, traffic is going to be a detriment, if it's not already."
New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner James Simpson wants residents and elected officials to weigh in quickly on the conceptual plan to ease traffic along Route 1 in West Windsor and Plainsboro. "If we can get this (project) into the (federal transportation) program, if everyone buys into it, it will be a Herculean task," Simpson said. "So the message that I want to deliver to everybody here is get on board quickly or say no quickly." Simpson spoke to a packed crowd at a breakfast meeting the Nassau Inn on Wednesday, hosted by the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce. "This region is so critical to the Einstein Alley," Simpson said. "There is a lot happening here, we've got a lot of corporate folks here and new folks …

"This is not a plan and this is not a project," NJ DOT Spokesman Joseph Dee said. "This is a conversation starter and funding has not been identified."
New Jersey Department of Transportation is considering an idea to reconfigure the jughandles on Route 1 and improve commuter traffic, following a failed experiment to close the jughandles last summer. The area up for discussion would affect a stretch of Route 1 from the Dinky railroad overpass south of Washington Road intersection to the Millstone River bridge just north of Harrison Street, Princeton Engineer Jack West said. NJ DOT Spokesman Joseph Dee said the new idea for the jughandles is just that- an idea. "This is not a plan and this is not a project," Dee said. "This is a conversation starter and funding has not been identified." "We made a commitment to the communities back when we pulled the plug on the no left turn pilot …

To the Editor: Making a left turn out of the Route One/Harrison Street Sunoco Station onto Harrison Street is a hazardous vehicular motion and should be banned. The recently completed widening of Harrison Street at the intersection with Route 1, has succeed in improving the flow of traffic turning on to Route 1 from Harrison Street. However, these changes have had the unintended and undesirable consequence of making the left turn motion out of the Sunoco more dangerous than before. Vehicles exiting the gas station on to Harrison Street going towards Princeton now have to cross three lanes of traffic, often blocking traffic in the two lanes on the gas station side of Harrison Street. Vehicles turning on to Harrison Street from Route 1 …

A West Windsor resident launched an online petition requesting that state officials abort the project. DOT representatives never specified what would determine the project’s success or failure: many residents see only failure.
In what seems to be a growing movement against the Route 1 jughandle closures, a resident of Penns Neck in West Windsor has launched an online petition asking the New Jersey Department of Transportation to end the 12-week pilot program. The closures- which prohibit drivers from turning left off Route 1 north at Washington Road and Harrison Street- aim to reduce congestion along Route 1 north through Lawrenceville, West Windsor and Plainsboro. If the trial- which began in early August- is a success, the state plans to close jughandles permanently. But what confuses many people is that DOT representatives have never specified what would determine the project’s success or failure. Many residents see only failure. “The NJDOT implemented the …

“All of a sudden the blades broke off," Joe Enhuei said. "One of the blades split into two or three pieces and then another intact blade hit the broken pieces.”

Joe Enhuei, said he washing his car in his driveway on Haskell Drive in West Windsor, when he heard and saw a helicopter flying northwest over his Princeton Chase development towards Princeton. It was a windy day and the wind was coming from the northwest, he said. The helicopter was blue with a yellow stripe along the side. He estimates it was flying at an elevation of roughly 1,500-2,000 feet. “I didn't see anything special or different until it was probably less than a mile away from me,” Enhuei said. “All of a sudden the blades…

While the National Transportation Safety Board wraps up their on-site investigation, it could be months before the cause of the fiery crash is determined
A Staten Island man was killed Saturday afternoon after the Aerospatiale AS355 twin-engine helicopter he was piloting crashed into cornfields located on the former American Cyanamid Agricultural Research Facility property in West Windsor along Quaker Bridge Road. West Windsor police identified the pilot as Michael Scarfia, 65, a retired New York City police officer. He was the only person aboard the helicopter at the time.

Considering NJDOT got it so spectacularly wrong last fall, you would think they would take the time to consult carefully this time round. But oh no, they want to rush headlong into a half-baked $40 million project. If you want quick feedback, here's mine: "Haste makes waste". more ›
