The Township Council has adopted a $1.95 million ordinance that would fund various capital improvements.
A large portion of the costs will go to making improvements to Alexander, Meadow, and North Post roads as well as Vaughn Drive and the adjoining intersections — for a total of $1.16 million. It will also fund $164,228 for work on Village Road (New, East, and West), Penn Lyle Road, Post Road, and adjoining intersections. The ordinance will also fund $626,000 of work on Princeton-Hightstown, Old Trenton, Edinburg, Rabbit Hill, and Southfield roads, as well as their adjoining intersections.
The township already has all of the funding for the projects in a trust account. The council adopted the ordinance after a public hearing on April 25.
In other business during the April 25 meeting, the council approved a memorandum of understanding related to a $50,162 grant given to Mercer County from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Preparedness for the purchase of a bomb detection canine and related equipment.
According to the resolution, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office designated West Windsor’s police department to participate in the bomb detection canine program. The grant was awarded to Mercer County, which provides the money for the program to West Windsor.
