SPOTLIGHT
Candidate debate
By KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
Princeton residents now have
the opportunity to really get to
know their landscaping.
The Princeton Shade Tree
Commission has unveiled a new
Shade Tree Database, designed to
provide information about every
public tree planted along Prince-
tons streets.
The actual total number of
public shade trees in Princeton,
based on the most recent data, is
18,558, Sharon Ainsworth, chair
of the Shade Tree Commission,
said. There are at least 179 dif-
ferent tree species. As you might
imagine, its extremely helpful to
have a database for planning the
management and maintenance of
these trees.
The man responsible for the
well being of Princetons shade
trees is Greg ONeil, the towns
arborist.
Having this data at our finger-
tips significantly increases our
productivity, ONeil said. When
we get phone calls from residents
saying theyre worried about a
tree, I can go on the database and
get a hazard rating, a condition
rating all that information is in
there. I can see if there have been
any changes to the tree, and get a
really good idea of what to expect
before I even go out to inspect it.
Ainsworth said the former bor-
ough began compiling a shade
tree database in 2011, as part of a
national initiative to encourage
municipalities to catalogue their
shade trees.
Fortunately, when the bor-
ough started their database, the
township also recognized the
need to have their trees invento-
ried, and they had that done
through an arboretum in the
area, Ainsworth said. This
year, we melded those two data-
bases together. We now have the
advantage of having all the pub-
lic street trees in this database. It
makes it much more efficient.
According to the database, the
top five species present in Prince-
ton are White and Green Ash, at
10.97 percent; Red Maple, at 9.6
percent; White Pine, at 5.11 per-
cent; Pin Oak, at 4.43 percent; and
Norway Maple, at 4.4 percent.
Ainsworth said the diversity of
species is important to Princeton
residents, both aesthetically and

AvalonBay wont comply with extra testing
By KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
The Princeton Council unani-
mously approved an agreement
for the redevelopment of the
Witherspoon Street hospital site
on April 7, but developer Avalon-
Bay has refused to comply with
extra testing recommended by
the governing body.
The Princeton Planning Board
approved AvalonBays plan for a
280-unit housing complex in 2013
on the condition that AvalonBay
enter into a developers agree-
ment with the town.
The agreement was on the
councils March 10 agenda, but
went unintroduced after con-
cerns were raised about a Land
Surveyor Reference Page on the
project.
When AvalonBay first came
in with the agreement, we decid-
ed to get an independent LSRP,
Mayor Liz Lempert said. We
hired Dr. Ira Whitman, an envi-
ronmental engineer, to review the
agreement and make recommen-
dations about testing on the site.
Whitmans initial report said
that while EcolSciences, the envi-
ronmental consulting firm hired
by AvalonBay, conducted a site as-
sessment in 2011, it did not identi-
fy a medical waste incinerator on
the property.
Environmental Protection
Agency literature associates the
following hazardous substances
with hospital medical waste in-
cinerators, that report read.
Hydrochloric acid, dioxins, fu-
rans, lead, cadmium and mercury.
AvalonBays proposed demolition
plan appears to be professional
and thorough, however the possi-
ble presence of polychlorinated
biphenyls in various forms of
demolition waste were not noted
in the plan.
AvalonBay has maintained
that the incinerator was used for
paper and medical records. Whit-
man said he thought it likely the
incinerator was actually used to
burn bandages, surgical gloves
and removed body organs.
Whitman provided a summary
of his recommendation, which in-
cluded soil and air sampling prior
to and during the demolition.
I recommend sampling associ-
ated with four possible pathways
of hazardous waste migration
from the incinerator, Whitman
said.
Those pathways include air-
borne emissions, deposition of
waste contaminants beneath the
incinerator, water conveyance of
incinerator related waste from
drains and piping, and deposition
of ash or residual material from
the incinerator.
Whitman originally recom-
mended that these samplings be
tested for cadmium, mercury,
dioxins and furans, but not lead.
When questioned by Council
on March 10 about the lack of
lead testing included in the rec-
ommendation, Whitman said
lead is a prevalent substance in
the environment.
My original recommendation
was for more samples and the in-
clusion of lead in the soil sam-
ples, Whitman said. AvalonBay
doesnt want to be held responsi-
ble for material that did not origi-
nate in the incinerator.
Council tabled the agreement
to provide Whitman with time to
expand his recommendations.
At the April 7 meeting, Whit-
man expanded on his initial rec-
ommendations with an eight-item
list that should be addressed at
the site, including the excavation
of six underground storage
tanks, four of which remain ac-
tive.
In addition, Whitman recom-
mended the removal of asbestos
and lead paint. He also recom-
mended that concrete the devel-
oper plans to crush and reuse be
tested for heavy metal content.
AvalonBay attorney Robert Ka-
suba said the developer is only
willing to comply with Whit-
mans original list of testing rec-
ommendations, because Depart-
ment of Environmental Protec-
tion regulations do not require
the additional testing.
In a press conference prior to
the April 7 meeting, Lempert said
the towns primary concern in re-
quiring environmental testing is
the health and safety of the com-
munity.
From my perspective, our ex-
perts are telling us that certain
testing protocol is recommended
to protect the health and safety of
our residents, Lempert said.
Were obligated to follow that ad-
vice.
Administrator Bob Bruschi
said AvalonBay could challenge
the towns testing requirements
in court.
We got this advice and these
recommendations from an ex-
pert, Bruschi said. So if there is
a court proceeding, we have that
expert whom weve employed to
give those recommendations
again in court, if need be.
AvalonBay did not provide
any additional comment for this
story.
Nick Sutter granted title of chief of police
By KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
Capt. Nick Sutter, who has
overseen the Princeton Police De-
partment for more than a year,
was officially granted the title of
chief of police through a unani-
mous vote at the April 7 Prince-
ton Council meeting.
Sutter received a standing ova-
tion from councilmembers, resi-
dents and about 30 officers in at-
tendance.
The process to appoint Sutter
to the chief s position began in
February, when Municipal Ad-
ministrator Bob Bruschi recom-
mended that council consider
Sutter as the only candidate for
the job.
Sutter underwent an interview
process with council in closed
session, and delivered a short
public presentation on April 7 re-
garding his long- and short-term
goals for the department.
Sutter said he hoped to contin-
ue improving communications
between the department, govern-
ing body and residents, with a
particular focus on groups he
feels have been underserved by
the department in the past.
Ive found through my career,
and especially in the last year,
that communication is pivotal to
the department, both internally
and externally, Sutter said. And
Ive seen the success of opening
up those lines of communication.
By communicating openly within
our department and to the out-
side, were opening ourselves up.
Were looking for suggestions and
improvements all the time. Weve
talked about things like intern-
ships and ride along programs. I
think thats something that in-
creases transparency and fur-
thers our relationship with the
community, so thats a good
thing.
Sutter became the depart-
ments officer-in-charge last Feb-
ruary, when then-chief David
Dudeck went on an extended
medical leave amid allegations of
misconduct. Dudeck eventually
signed a separation agreement
with the municipality. Several
members of the department have
since filed a lawsuit against
Dudeck based on the same mis-
conduct allegations.
Councilman Patrick Simon
thanked Sutter for his leadership
over the past year, and mentioned
that he had received many posi-
tive comments about Sutter from
members of the public.
In all of my interactions with
you, Ive been very pleased with
your professionalism and with
the high standard youve set for
integrity and transparency,
Simon said. As several of my col-
leagues have mentioned, the com-
ments we have received have been
overwhelmingly supportive, and
thats certainly not always a sure
thing, given the recent history of
the combined force. I think thats
a credit to you and to all the peo-
ple who sit behind you, that
youve really come together as a
force under your leadership. I
want to thank you for that.
Sutter said many of his goals
for the department involve unit-
ing the members of the police
force under a common mission
statement. He said that while his
work has just begun, he has seen
improvement in intra-departmen-
tal relationships, and he expects
those relationships to continue to
improve.
Policies are clear and our ex-
pectations are clear, Sutter said.
We set a mission statement, and
a statement of core values
things that we as a department
value things like honor, integri-
ty and respect. I can tell you the
men and women you see sitting
behind me emulate those every
day. That being said, its not that
simple. Its an ongoing process.
What it boils down to is what we
communicate, and how we repre-
sent ourselves on a daily basis.
Its about respect respect for the
community and respect for how
we live our lives and do our job.
Were committed to that.
Mayor Liz Lempert said a
swearing in ceremony would be
scheduled before the end of the
month.

HISTORY OF
KAZAK RUGS
Kazak is a small city in
the Northwestern part
of Azerbaijan, with
valleys spanning across
to Armenia and Georgia.
Woven post 1830 by
Armenians and
Afghanis, rugs from this
region were influenced
by Caucasian designs
found in rugs from old
Russia and the northern
part of the Persian
Empire. The color
palette is often red,
yellow, gold or blue with
geometric designs which
compliment both
modern and classic
interiors. Visit our store
for a wide selection of
Kazak rugs.

The following are reports from
the Princeton Police Department.
On April 1 at 11:43 a.m., patrols
were dispatched to the Spring
Street Parking Garage to investi-
gate a report of criminal mis-
chief. Garage staff reported that a
male, bald, approximately 56,
wearing a grey shirt and black
pants, had pushed against the
garage gate at the Hulfish Street
entrance, breaking the gate. The
cost to repair the gate was
unknown at the time of the re-
port.
On April 3 at 2:19 p.m., a victim
contacted police to report that
sometime between 11:30 p.m. and
midnight on April 2, an unknown
person stole his backpack and its
contents while he was at the
Quadrangle Club. The backpack
contained a Macbook Pro laptop.
The total amount of the theft was
estimated at $3,450.
On April 3 at 8:40 a.m., subse-
quent to a motor vehicle stop, ac-
tive warrants in the amount of
$750 were found for the driver out
of New Brunswick Municipal
Court. The driver was placed
under arrest and transported to
police headquarters, where he
was later released after posting
bail.
On April 8 at 8:34 a.m., a victim
reported that on March 31 some-
one entered his unlocked dorm
room and removed his iPhone
and Tag Heuer watch. The com-
bined total of the items was esti-
mated at $2,700.
On April 8 at 2:49 p.m., patrols
responded to a house in the 100
block of Hun Road on the report
by a caretaker that the house ap-
peared to have been burglarized.
The subsequent investigation re-
vealed that forced entry had oc-
curred and entry was gained at
the rear of the home. It was un-
known at the time of the report
what had been taken from the
home.
On April 8 at 5:31 p.m., a caller
reported that sometime overnight
on April 6, someone had taken his
Ford F150 pickup, valued at ap-
proximately $7,000, from his
driveway.
On April 9 at 10:37 p.m., a vic-
tim contacted police to report that
sometime between 6:30 p.m. and
7:30 p.m. on April 8, an unknown
person had taken his cell phone
and wallet while they were left
unattended in the school dining
hall. The total amount of the theft
is estimated at just more than
$400.

Reader thanks those who
came to endorsement process
We're writing to express our gratitude to
the hundreds of Princeton Democrats who
ventured out on a rainy Sunday evening to
participate in the PCDO local candidate en-
dorsement process. We appreciated the as-
sistance of the League of Women Voters in
moderating the meeting and the many vol-
unteers who helped manage the crowd. It is
a privilege to compete for the Democratic
nomination in a community that takes
democracy to heart!
We also wish to thank the members of
the Princeton Municipal Democratic Com-
mittee for meeting with each candidate the
following evening to consider ballot place-
ment and use of the party slogan. We are
honored to have received their recommen-
dation.
As we head toward the June 3 Primary
Election, we look forward to sharing our
ideas for leading Princeton forward and
hearing your thoughts. The League of
Women Voters has graciously offered to
host a televised candidate forum on April
30, so all of Princeton has an opportunity
to learn more about our values and vision.
Local campaigns are a great way to get
more involved in the civic life of our com-
munity.

T
he old saying is that numbers
dont lie. Numbers are what
they are; interpret them how
you will.
Here are a few for you to ponder:
Five: How many of Atlantic Citys
11 casinos lost money on an operating
basis for the first nine months of the
fiscal year, through September
One: How many Atlantic City casi-
nos went out of business this year
the Atlantic Club plus one more
Revel which is up for sale following
bankruptcy
$10.3 million: The amount of rev-
enue from online wagering in New
Jersey in February, on pace for $123.6
million for the year, well short of Gov.
Christies original $1 billion forecast.
$12 million: The estimated tax rev-
enue from internet gambling through
the end of the fiscal year in June, com-
pared to the forecast of $160 million
$235 million: The amount of gam-
bling revenue brought in by AC casi-
nos last year, a 35 percent drop from
2012, a year that included a casino
shutdown due to Hurricane Sandy
39: The number of states that offer
casino gambling, compared to two in
1988
2 million: The number of visitors
Atlantic City bused in from surround-
ing areas last year, compared to 14 mil-
lion not long ago
The numbers dont lie not only is
Atlantic City failing, so is gambling
nationwide. Even in Las Vegas, the
gambling capital of the world, gam-
bling revenue was down to only $6.5
billion last year.
New casinos in that Nevada city are
focusing on other luxurious offerings
other than gambling, such as restau-
rants, nightclubs, pools, shopping,
spas and entertainment.
Over the last few years, Atlantic
City has begun to do the same with the
Tanger Outlets, The Pier Shops at Cae-
sars and the dining and nightlife at the
Borgata.
But is it enough? The numbers
would say that its not, or at the very
least, that more needs to be done to
make Atlantic City a bigger tourist
destination, serving more than just
the gambler.
Like it or not, Atlantic City is vital
for the states economy. Lucky for us, it
has easy access, beachfront property
and plenty of name recognition to
bounce back in a serious way.
in our opinion
Did the gamble on AC fail?
If so, then the state needs to find an alternative source of revenue fast
Your thoughts
Can Atlantic City rebound without
gambling? What are your ideas for how it
can become a tourist destination for more
than just gamblers? Share your thoughts
through a letter to the editor.

On Friday, April 25, more than
300,000 people across the United
States are expected to take a
stand against racism and do
their part to help advance the
YWCAs mission to eliminate
racism in todays society.
Stand Against Racism is a
movement that was started in
2007 by YWCA Princeton and
YWCA Trenton. Each year, organ-
izations across the nation are in-
vited to join the fight against
racism by becoming a Participat-
ing Site and hosting their own
Stand.
This annual event encourages
organizations, businesses, places
of worship, educational institu-
tions, government agencies and
the community to come together
and raise awareness the racism
still exists and learn more about
eliminating it from the society.
In all societies, there is some
element of prejudice and indiffer-
ence. We are asking people to take
a moment, pause and look around
to find where it exists within
their world and take a small step
toward eliminating it, says
Debra Raines, director of mission
advancement at the YWCA
Princeton.
To become a participating site,
organizations should visit
www.Standagainstracism.org to
register.
Participation is free and all or-
ganizations receive free pins,
bookmarks, posters and detailed
instructions on how to run a
Stand Against Racism event.
We encourage organizations
to host their own stand so that it
can be tailored to their members.
It can be a public or a private
event. It could be as simple as a
15-minute discussion/presenta-
tion or as large as an outdoor
rally, an all-day open house, or
anything in between, adds
Raines.
On April 25, YWCA Princeton
will be hosting a community-wide
event open to the public a dis-
cussion titled Is Racism Holding
Up/Delaying Immigration Re-
form? A panel of distinguished
leaders including Patricia Fer-
nandez-Kelly, sr. lecturer, Prince-
ton University, and Poonam
Bhuchar, legal expert from
Princeton, will lead the evening.
The event is sponsored by Prince-
ton Human Services, Princeton
Public Library, League of Women
Voters, Coalition for Peace Action
and other organizations.
The discussion is scheduled
from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the
Community Room, Princeton
Public Library and will include
the Pledge against Racism,
light refreshments, displays, and
more. An outdoor gathering will
commence at 5:45 p.m. at Hinds
Plaza with musical entertain-
ment featuring Mas Flow, a
Latin dancers group. Admission
is free.
For those in the Princeton-
Trenton area who cannot attend
Friday evening, but wish to par-
ticipate in another Stand Against
Racism event, there are a number
scheduled. All are welcome and
are free to participate. To identify
other events in the area and
across the country, please visit
www.StandAgainstRacism.org
where a comprehensive listing is
available.

Stand Against Racism or the
events listed, please contact

Morven in May begins May 2
One of New Jerseys most an-
ticipated spring rituals, Morven

sans from throughout the coun-
try. The event will be held May 2
through 4. Art mediums include
glass, ceramics, decorative and
wearable fiber, mixed media, jew-
elry, furniture and basketry.
This years Morven in May ju-
rors were James C. Steward, di-
rector, Princeton University Art
Museum; David Rago, founding
partner, Rago Arts; and Veronica
C. Roberts, curator of modern
and contemporary art, Blanton
Art Museum (U. of Texas).
Along with an array of beauti-
fully crafted art objects displayed
in gallery-style booths, under a
grand tent on the museums
Great Lawn, Morven will offer for
sale a distinct collection of heir-
loom perennials and unique an-
nuals.
The weekend-long event kicks-
off on Friday, May 2 with a Pre-
view Garden Party on Morvens
Great Lawn from 6:30 9 p.m. The
show then opens to the public for
two days of art and garden treas-
ure hunting.
All proceeds from Morven in
May help fund the museums col-
lections and exhibitions, historic
gardens, and educational pro-
grams.
Tickets for Friday night's Pre-

D&R Greenway Land Trusts
Spring Native Plant Sale will be
held Friday, May 16 from 3 p.m. to
6 p.m. and Saturday, May 17 from
9 a.m. to noon.
Eco-conscious gardening using
native species provides essential
food for wildlife; contributes to a
healthy, biodiverse ecosystem;
and creates low maintenance,
drought-resistant plantings.
D&R Greenway Land Trust in-
vites the public to its annual
Spring Native Plant Sale, held
outside the Johnson Education
Center on Friday, May 16 and Sat-
urday, May 17. D&R Greenways
Native Plant Nursery is a commu-
nity resource for locally sourced
native plants that contribute to a
healthy, biodiverse ecosystem.
The nursery is located at One
Preservation Place, south of
Princeton, off Rosedale Road. No
registration is required.
D&R Greenways plants are
grown from genetically local
seeds gathered on their preserves
and tended in the nursery by staff
and skilled volunteers. Plants
grown from locally sourced plugs
will also be available for pur-
chase.
Native plants are adapted to
central New Jerseys weather
conditions, making them more
drought-resistant than most exot-
ic plants, and also provide essen-
tial food for wildlife. Of particu-
lar concern are native pollinators
such as bees and butterflies,
which depend on native plant
species to survive.
A famous example is the
monarch butterfly, which is de-
pendent on the milkweed plant
for its life cycle. Milkweed is in
decline across the United States,
largely because of agricultural
herbicides, and the monarch pop-
ulation has also taken a negative
turn. Gardeners can help by
planting milkweed on their prop-
erty! Several varieties of milk-
weed are available in D&R Green-
ways nursery.
Plants are available in quart
and gallon-sized pots from $5 to
$12. A full catalog is available on-
line at
www.drgreenway.org/PlantCata-
log.html. Please contact Emily
Blackman, nursery manager, to
check species availability at (609)
924-4646, or eblackman@drgreen-
way.org.
D&R Greenways Native Plant
Nursery will offer summer plant
sales every Friday, beginning
June 6 through Aug. 29. The sales
will take place from 3 p.m.
through 6 p.m., with the excep-
tion of holidays.
D&R Greenway Native Plant
Nursery is located at the Johnson
Education Center, One Preserva-
tion Place, Princeton, off
Rosedale Road. www.drgreen-

One tree can provide same
air-cooling benefits as 10
window air conditioners
in terms of the benefits each tree
provides.
Certainly, the obvious
benefits are the shade that these
street trees provide and the aes-
thetic benefit, Ainsworth said.
But theres also a huge
effect on air quality. If you go into
the database and click on
an individual tree, it will tell you
the estimated dollar
benefit based on that particular
tree.
According to the Department
of Agriculture, a young healthy
tree provides the same air-cool-
ing benefits as 10 window air con-
ditioners.
ONeil said he expects
residents will take advantage of
the database to learn more
about the trees not just outside
their homes, but all over Prince-
ton.
Ive gotten a few inquiries
about it already, ONeil said.
One resident asked me
today how to find out where all
the sassafras trees are in town.
With the new database, its
easy to do things like that. You
use drop-down menus and its
easy to identify where those trees
are.
Ainsworth said the Shade Tree
Commission is still perfecting
the sites usability, but she ex-
pects it to be popular with resi-
dents as well.
There are a couple of glitches
we havent quite worked out yet,
Ainsworth said. Were in the
midst of putting together more
user-friendly directions for using
the database. But this is going to
be an extremely useful tool, not
only for maintenance, but also to
share with the public what their
investment in street trees is
doing for the community.
The database and instructions
for use can be accessed
through the Shade Tree Commis-
sions website at www.pbshade-
tree.org.

According to new data released
by New Jersey Transit, Dinky rid-
ership has seen a sharp decrease
since the line was relocated last
summer.
The NJ Transit Quarterly Rid-
ership Trends Analysis Report
said of Dinky ridership from Oc-
tober to December 2013, the
number of passengers who rode
the Princeton Branch was 10.4
percent lower than last year, with
all ticket types showing declines.
NJ Transit shut down the sta-
tion on Aug. 26 to accommodate
Princeton Universitys construc-
tion of a $300 million arts and
transit neighborhood. A tempo-
rary station was erected, and the
university began running shuttle
buses from downtown Princeton
to the Princeton Junction NJ
Transit station.
NJ Transit also reported that
travel from Princeton to New
York Penn Station was down 8.8
percent, and Princeton Newark
travel was down .9 percent. It also
reported larger declines in local
travel.
The Dinky declines corre-
spond with the start of free shut-
tle buses operated by Princeton
University between Princeton
and Princeton Junction as the re-
sult of the temporary relocation
of the Princeton station to facili-
tate construction there.
The New Jersey Association of
Railroad Passengers, an organiza-
tion involved in a lawsuit to re-
verse NJ Transits removal of the
original Dinky tracks, issued a
press release regarding the drop
in ridership.
This result was predicted by
the NJ-ARP and Save the Dinky,
Incorporated, a Princeton-based
citizens group with over 400 sup-
porters, the release said. The
abandonment, first announced in
2010, was strongly opposed by offi-
cials of the former Princeton Bor-
ough, who asked that NJ Transit
hold a public hearing on the
transportation impacts. NJ Tran-
sit declined, taking the position
that it had contractual obliga-
tions to Princeton University to
agree to the move and that it had
no legal obligations to hold a pub-
lic hearing.
Though Dinky ridership did
drop, NJ Transit reported that
ridership on its entire Northeast
Corridor Line, which includes the
Princeton Branch, is up approxi-
mately 10 percent.
The NJ-ARP and the national
branch of the Association of Rail
Passengers have criticized NJ
Transit for declining to address
the potential loss of Dinky riders
prior to agreeing that the station
could be moved.
The station abandonment and
terminus relocation to a much
less convenient site has damp-
ened the usage of the brand in the
area of 20 percent of what would
have been expected had this event
not occurred, Jack May of the
NJ-ARP said in a statement. The
total Northeast Corridor rider-
ship increase of more than 10 per-
cent would have also applied to
the Princeton Branchs patron-
age. Thus the relocation of the
Princeton Station has resulted in
one out of five potential riders
going elsewhere.
The National Association of
Rail Passengers and the NJ-ARP
have a petition before the Surface
Transportation Board, a branch
of the federal Department of
Transportation, requesting the
STB claim jurisdiction over the
Dinky.
NJ Transit did not respond to a
request for comment.

Meningitis vaccine
to be reviewed
Over the past few months, stu-
dents and faculty at Princeton
University have received two
doses of Bexsero, a meningitis
vaccine that was previously un-
approved for use in the United
States.
The vaccine was used to com-
bat an outbreak of the serotype-B
strain of meningitis, which is not
prevented by current FDA-ap-
proved meningitis vaccines. No-
vartis, the pharmaceutical com-
pany that produces Bexsero, an-
nounced last week that the FDA
had designated the drug a break-
through therapy.
Novartis said they plan to file
for full FDA approval before June.
The recent outbreaks on uni-
versity campuses have shown
that meningitis B is unpre-
dictable and can strike at any
time with devastating conse-
quences, Andrin Oswald, divi-
sion head at Novartis, said in a re-
lease. We will continue to work
with the FDA to bring Bexsero to
the US as soon as possible.
The Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention have recom-
mended that certain incoming
Princeton University freshmen
receive the vaccine.
Wetlands surveys done
for expansion area
Williams Co., which operates
the Transco natural gas pipeline,
has completed additional wet-
lands surveys along the Prince-
ton Ridge, where the company
has proposed a pipeline expan-
sion project.
The project has been the sub-
ject of harsh criticism from both
residents and environmental
groups, who are concerned that
the project would disrupt wet-
lands habitats and threaten al-
ready endangered plants and
wildlife.
According to a report prepared
for the municipality by Princeton
Hydro, an engineering consulting
firm, prior mapping completed by
Williams Co. failed to include
some wetlands, springs and open
waters in the area that would be
affected by the pipeline project.
According to a release from the
Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed
Association, one of the chief op-
ponents of the project, members
of the Princeton Ridge Coalition,
a residents group, will review the
new surveys once they have been
completed.
Williams Co. has not provided
a timeline for the completion of
the new surveys.
Bond ordinance
adopted for road repairs
At the April 7 Princeton Coun-
cil meeting, the council adopted a
bond ordinance for road repairs
totaling $880,000. The bond re-
quires a $44,000 down payment
under the Local Bond Law. The
down payment will be included in
the 2014 operating budget, and the
adopted ordinance authorizes the
remaining $836,000 to be issued in
negotiable bonds.
The $880,000 will be used to fi-
nance the repaving of several
well-traveled roads that sustained
significant damage this winter.
This was a really horrible win-
ter and an expensive one, Mayor
Liz Lempert said. In addition to
all the extra money weve had to
spend on rock salt, we know were
going to have a huge bill for pot-
holes.
Administrator Bob Bruschi
said the damage was significant
enough to warrant repaving.
In some places, theres just not
enough of the road left to patch,
Bruschi said. If we tried to do
that, we might as well be filling
the holes with our money. The
roads are just disintegrated.
In a March memo to the Prince-
ton Council, Bob Hough, director
of infrastructure and operations,
outlined a preliminary road re-
construction plan that was esti-
mated at $800,000.
As we are all aware, our road-
ways have experienced significant
damage as a result of the severe
winter weather, Houghs memo
read. We have identified and
been evaluating certain sections
of heavily traveled roads where
excessive and multiple failures of
the road pavement and road base
have occurred. Because of the
severity of the conditions, a con-
tractor or contractors will be
needed to perform required re-
pairs.
Hough identified five major in-
tersections and roads that require
the towns immediate attention.
Repaving the stretch of Mercer
Road between Quaker Road and
the Lawrence Township Line will
cost the town $424,000. An addi-
tional $90,000 will be required to
repair Quaker Road from the
Stony Brook bridge to the D&R
Canal Bridge. Elm Road between
Westerly Road and Rosedale Road
will cost $61,000, in addition to a
$53,000 bill for Harrison Street in
the area of Hamilton and
Franklin avenues. Finally, the
town will pay $38,000 to repave
Mount Lucas Road between Val-
ley Road and Cherry Hill Road.
The repairs have not yet been
scheduled, but Bruschi said he ex-
pects crews will begin work this
month.
