Dear Mayor Hsueh:
I am writing to praise some unsung heroes of the township’s workforce — the Public Works Department. I just moved out of West Windsor after spending 24 years as a resident in Kings Pointe. During that time I have had many interactions with the Public Works Department, both as they worked on my street and at the 70 Southfield Road location.
I have found these public employees to be extremely professional and dedicated to the residents of West Windsor. The administrative staff has always been pleasant and helpful whenever I interacted with them. The crews that pick up the curbside yard debris have always done a terrific job in keeping our streets clear and allowing the residents to dispose of home site debris in an environmentally friendly way.
This group did an outstanding job during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy with what seemed like an impossible task. I remember them coming to our street when I was attempting to cut down broken branches from the trees in front of my house. They brought their equipment over and pulled the broken branches down, saving me hours of work to make my property safe for anyone passing by. They didn’t have to help me, but they did.
I have heard from others who feel the same way I do about the Public Works Department for the work they do and the way they go about it. They deserve the recognition and praise of the township administration because they have a thankless job that seems to only get recognized when something goes wrong.
The township is lucky to have a department that carries out its responsibilities in an efficient, professional, and responsible way. Please let them know how much they are appreciated not only by the township administration, but by the township residents they serve.
David L. Williams
Former resident of Kings Pointe
