As evidenced by comments at the October 1 Council meeting, one township project that has received good reviews is the recent widening of Penn Lyle Road near High School South. Residents including John Church of 11 Princeton Place, as well as Councilman Bryan Maher, who lives on Penn Lyle Road, commented that the work looks very good and the roadway has been exponentially improved.
But not everyone looked at the changes to Penn Lyle as very positive. Sandra Duffy of 15 Westwinds Drive wrote in an E-mail to the WW-P News that she was “horrified” when she passed through the intersection of Penn Lyle and Clarksville Road after the striping was completed, only to realize that “NOTHING was done to improve the traffic flow northbound across Clarksville Road.”
West Windsor Director of Community Development Pat Ward responded to Duffy’s concern:
“Engineering will look into having the right lane through or right, and the left lane for left turn only. We need to look at the current levels of service through this intersection before we can make this type of change,” Ward writes.
