Penn Lyle Road near High School South is set to become wider over the summer. Bus and bike lanes as well as a sidewalk are going to be added.
West Windsor-Plainsboro School Board Vice President Robert Johnson said the administration and facilities committee reviewed plans for the project, which will provide for a bus lane at the school end of Penn Lyle Road.
“There will be some reconfiguration of the grading on the parking lot, and we did have some discussion and concern whether there’d be such reconfiguration that we’d lose some parking spaces. That’s yet to be seen,” he said.
Township Business Administrator Robert Hary says there will be no impact on the school’s parking lot as a result of construction. According to Hary the matter was brought up from the school district’s side because future roadwork will widen the road on High School South’s side of the street. Phase 1 of construction took place last July, as pavement was resurfaced from Village Road West to Stony Brook Way.
The project is scheduled to start in July, similar to phase I last year, which took 12 weeks to complete. Hary says the roadwork will be completed ahead of the start of the school year.
#b#Road Grant#/b#. West Windsor Township has received a $220,000 grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s 2012 municipal aid program. The money will be used towards the road resurfacing project of New Village Road between Old Trenton Road and Edinburg Road.
