The Plainsboro Township Committee adopted a bond ordinance providing funds for the second phase of a traffic calming project on Plainsboro Road on December 9.
The township received a $1.14 million grant — $700,000 in federal money and $440,000 from the state Department of Transportation — toward the second phase of reconstruction, which will cost a total $1.75 million. The township will put up the costs of the remaining $580,000.
Phase II of the reconstruction project will continue work performed several years ago on Plainsboro Road from Morris Davison Park up to Deer Creek Drive. The second phase of reconstruction will run from Deer Creek Drive to Enterprise Drive. Improvements include construction of an island in the middle of the roadway, enhancing pedestrian safety and crosswalks, and providing for new curbing.
Township officials will have the winter months to bid the project, and they are anticipating the project will begin in the spring.
