Several years ago, there was a very brief, passing discussion regarding burying the power / utility poles in the commercial district of Princeton Junction. I know this because I mentioned it.
Linda Geevers stated “it would be too expensive.” Really? Did she have any cost estimates?
As previously written, this cost seems not to have bothered Princeton, Plainsboro, Robbinsville, and many other area communities.
If West Windsor is (still) the Best Town in the World, why has this initiative not progressed? Because the mayor didn’t think of it? He has had 20 years or more than 7,300 days to do something.
By contrast, the public gets three minutes every two weeks to make constructive suggestions.
This should be a much higher priority over the Asian Pocket Park. Perhaps with the power poles removed, we can grow and harvest bamboo along both sides of the roadway?
Subterranean utilities should be considered before any new paving is done through the commercial district. Under no circumstances should the county do the paving because its quality of construction is reprehensible. Fact.
