It would be unfortunate for the residents of West Windsor and surrounding communities who use the train station in Princeton Junction if the Hillier firm took their leave of the job they were given to do in planning West Windsor’s future land use around our train station.##M:[more]##
What is moving forward, showing signs that the public is being heard, is a process that isn’t perfect but that should not be derailed. It is imcumbent for the Town Council members, the Mayor’s office and the Planning Board to work together for the regional and local development that is unavoidable. Because like it or not, this is a transit village. More commuters will be coming our way whether or not this village is ever built.
New Jersey Transit should be required to be part of the process and to pay a fair share for their increased ridership due to the expansion. Bringing forth economic transparency in the process and working together with the Town Council is a must for the township administration. And residents are responsible too for becoming involved in this process.
Civility without threats among all public officials is the most important factor in finding consensus in the community. I do hope that this is not the end of the discussion. West Windsor could be a place with a center that we all want to visit if this works.
