As West Windsor struggles to find a way to install sidewalks on Cranbury Road, with sections that have virtually no shoulder, a Plainsboro resident, Steve Tayler, has written with an idea that might help some pedestrians, particularly those who walk or bike from Plainsboro to the train station.
“The real problem lies between Stobbe Lane and Sunnydale Way on Cranbury Road. The road is very narrow, bending, and with no shoulder. A very dangerous section,” Tayler writes. “I would propose the following solution to the problem: Starting from Stults Drive (Plainsboro) a bike/walk path to Cranbury Road (Grovers Mill) along Millstone Road. Then a bike/walk path on the north side of Cranbury Road to Stobbe Lane. The bike/walk lane would then cross Cranbury Road and across Bear Brook on the existing bridge. Then a few feet toward 571 on Cranbury Road a three-foot section of the guard rail would be removed so people could easily go into Rogers Preserve.
“There is a trail already, but it should be raised and made of a material to keep it dry. This trail through the preserve emerges onto Berkshire Drive. One can then walk or bike on Berkshire to an existing path between Berkshire and Carlton Place” and then find the way to Route 571.kers and pedestrians can easily find the way to stores and the train station.
