The Plainsboro Township Committee approved a $1,”515,”000 bond ordinance during its November 12 meeting to be used for the resurfacing projects on George Davison and Plainsboro roads.##M:[more]##
The work includes the repaving and reconstruction of Plainsboro Road from the vicinity of the Dey Road and Edgemere Avenue intersection to Enterprise Drive, including installation of new sidewalks. A significant portion of the bond — $510,”000 — comes from grants the township has received for the work. After a down payment of $50,”000, the difference will be $954,”000.
Reconstruction of a large stretch of George Davison Road will replace the badly worn pavement. The road borders Cranbury, and Plainsboro has had an informal agreement with Cranbury for years, in which Plainsboro has taken care of George Davidson Road from Cranbury Neck to Plainsboro Road. On the other side of Cranbury Neck is John White Road, Cranbury’s responsibility.
This year is the first of the township’s preventative maintenance program, which began with the pavement of Stults Drive, Cooks Corner, and half of Pond View Drive. The first part of the funding for the preventative maintenance program — $675,”000 – was included in this year’s budget.
