Thanks, Steve Goldin, for having the vision, determination, and guts to put your money where your mouth is to finally get the politicians of this town off the dime. (WW-P News, December 3, 2010)
I moved here 11 years ago — at which time they were talking about development around the train station. There is still nothing tangible. When I first moved here I had to drive to the Hamilton station to park and get a train. The lot became crowded, and all of a sudden, there was a new, multi-story parking garage under construction.
Now, there is a six-story garage, literally a few feet from the station platform. Recently, I have even seen large posters for a new housing complex, “The Crossings at Hamilton,” at the train station. I have had occasion to go to New Brunswick this year, and over the summer, they have built a new 10- or 11-story parking garage with residential and retail space incorporated in the structure. Last week, I saw that it is connected by a foot bridge, above street level, directly to the New Brunswick station.
The two communities to the north and south of us have greatly expanded their parking facilities, and we’re still floundering around. I know that there is a vocal minority that would like to keep West Windsor in the 1930s, but maybe, thanks to Steve, we can finally progress into the 21st century.
Thanks again, Steve. You deserve it.
