Route 1 plan
By KATIE MORGAN
The West Windsor Sun
West Windsor residents attend-
ed a Princeton Council meeting
on April 8 to discuss a new con-
cept developed by local engineers
to alleviate congestion issues on
Route 1.
The newest proposal, called
The Princeton Plan, calls for
the construction of a connector
road on either side of Route 1.
One road would be in West Wind-
sor, and the other would connect
Harrison and Washington roads
on the Princeton side of Route 1.
The two roads would merge at a
traffic circle that would be con-
structed in the Penns Neck neigh-
borhood of West Windsor.
The state requested sugges-
tions from engineers in West
Windsor, Princeton and Plains-
boro last month after a DOT pro-
posal sparked public outcry in all
three communities. The DOT
plan proposed eliminating sever-
al left-hand turns off Route 1 and
constructing two jughandles.
West Windsor residents attend-
ed the April 8 meeting to voice
their concerns about The Prince-
ton Plan. Eric Payne, a resident of
the Penns Neck neighborhood

APRIL 17-23, 2013 THE WEST WINDSOR SUN 3
By KATIE MORGAN
The West Windsor Sun
A group of high school and
middle school students in the
West Windsor-Plainsboro District
are giving back to their schools by
presenting the second annual
WW-Ps Got Talent showcase on
April 20.
A youth committee organized
in 2012 for the WW-P Education
Foundation is producing the
show, which will be a showcase of
students from Kindergarten to
Grade 12, and will feature
dancers, artists, musicians and
singers.
The event will also feature a
student art exhibit and an inter-
national buffet dinner donated by
local restaurants.
The WW-P Education Founda-
tion was founded in 1995 to raise
private money to support innova-
tive education programs not af-
forded by the budget.
With the 2 percent caps put on
the budgets in the past two years,
our role has gotten even greater,
said Marcia Fleres, executive di-
rector of the WW-P Education
Foundation.
We raise money from the com-
munity and local corporations,
and we give grants to schools and
teachers to produce these experi-
ential, innovative programs.
Fleres said the Youth Commit-
tees first project was last years
WW-Ps Got Talent show.
They formed the Youth Com-
mittee last year in the fall, Fleres
said. They pulled together the
first WW-Ps Got Talent in a short
time. With that first show, they
raised over $12,000.
Fleres said the committee has
already exceeded last years total,
raising $12,250 on program adver-
tisements and donations alone.
Theyve already met the goal,
Fleres said.
And thats not ticket sales,
thats just everything leading up
to the event. And thats also a net
total, with expenses already
taken into account.
The money raised by this
years show will primarily go to
fund science, technology, engi-
neering and mathematics (STEM)
programs for students in the dis-
trict.
The kids involved in the youth
committee are learning philan-
thropy, and theyre understand-
ing the importance of an innova-
tive education. In a district thats
already a high-achieving district,
these students are helping us
offer programs on top of the cur-
riculum that are amazing.
Fleres said the students in-
volved in the Youth Committee
are responsible for visiting local
businesses and restaurants to sell
advertising and solicit food dona-
tions.
To raise money like they do,
you need to believe in your
cause, Fleres said.
They get it. They understand
that they are supporting fellow
students and new students com-
ing into the district, which I think
is so cool.
The Education Foundation has
funded several innovative educa-
tion programs at district schools
in the past few years. This year,
every third grader participated in
a mobile planetarium program.
The Foundation also funds the
weather station on top of the Mill-
stone River School, as well as a
Chromebook laptop pilot pro-
gram at Community Middle
School.
WW-Ps Got Talent will be
held April 20 in the commons and
auditorium at High School South.
The dinner buffet will be from
5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The student art show will
begin at 5:30 p.m. and the talent
show will begin at 6:30 p.m. Tick-
ets are $15 for adults and $10 for
students. Children under age 5
are free.
All tickets at the door are $15
each.
Tickets and more information
are available online at wwpgottal-
ent2013.eventbrite.com.

Community Colleges Kelsey The-
atre on Saturday, April 20 at 2 and
4 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located
on the college's West Windsor
campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
Wilbur the pig has a problem:
how to avoid winding up as pork
chops!
Charlotte, a little gray spider
whos a fine writer and true
friend, hits on a plan to fool
Farmer Zuckerman she will cre-
ate a "miracle." Spinning the
words "Some Pig" in her web,
Charlotte weaves a solution,
which not only makes Wilbur a
prize pig, but ensures his place on
the farm forever.
Based on the Newbery Medal-
winning book, this treasured tale,
featuring mad-cap and endearing
farm animals, explores bravery,
selfless love, and the true mean-
ing of friendship. Charlottes
Web began its national tour with
Theatreworks/USA in 1993, and
has been one of the companys
most popular productions ever
since.
The New York-based childrens
theater company is America's
largest not-for-profit theater for

Gear up for Arbor Day April 27
Driving along the streets of
West Windsor right after the dev-
astating hurricane Sandy, we all
saw the damage it had caused to
our trees. It uprooted many trees
and severely damaged many
more. Power was lost in many
homes.
Events beyond our control hap-
pen every day. How we deal with
it matters. Thanks to the West
Windsor leadership team, Public
Works staff and the residents
who dealt with this disastrous
event in an efficient and effective
manner.
The sight of the tree branches
and fallen trees piled up on road-
sides after the super storm Sandy
made some even wonder if West
Windsor still is a Tree City
USA.
Yes, we are. Sure, hundreds of
trees were uprooted or badly
damaged, but the township plans
to replace the damaged sidewalks
and replace most of the trees.
After the wrath of Sandy, Arbor
Day is much more meaningful to
our town this year.
West Windsor is ready to cele-
brate Arbor Day again. Come and
join us Saturday April 27, at 10
a.m. at the Ronald R. Rogers Ar-
boretum (corner of Clarksville
and Princeton Hightstown roads,
across from High School South.)
In case of rain the event will be
held at the WW Senior Center
(WW Township Complex, next to
the post office).
There will be awards for the
WW-P Student Art Competition.
Attendees will learn to identify
common trees and local insects.
There will be participation by
Girls Scouts and Boys Scouts and
music groups from the school dis-
trict.
Visitors can take home a free
tree seedling.

called Smart Traffic Solutions,
said he was disappointed the com-
munity was not aware of the new
proposal until the meeting agen-
da was published.
First, the plan calls for a traf-
fic circle in the middle of a neigh-
borhood, Payne said. It also
maintains the right turn from
Route 1 onto Washington Road. So
basically Washington stays busy,
and you add another busy road on
the other side. The plan doesnt
alleviate the misery, it just
spreads it around.
In a letter sent to several local
publications, Mayor Shing-Fu
Hsueh said The Princeton Plan
was not a final consensus on what
would be sent to the state DOT,
but just a new talking point in the
discussion.
I suspect Princeton felt it was
far enough along with its ideas to
share an aerial map depicting
some suggested improvements
with its council, he said. So far,
we only have ideas and possibili-
ties. The aerial map which cur-
rently exists was intended to be
an initial graphic representation
of a number of ideas and for dis-
cussion purposes only by region-
al professionals, mayors and
major property owners in re-
sponse to the DOTs latest con-
cept.
Payne said that, though The
Princeton Plan is still not a desir-
able solution, it represents a step
in the right direction.
With a few adjustments, it
could work, he said. There are a
lot of factors that still need to be
considered, but I think were get-
ting much closer. This is much
better than the first DOT propos-
al.
Payne said possible adjust-
ments to the plan would include
moving the connector road on the
West Windsor side further from
the adjacent neighborhood, and
eliminating the right turn from
Route 1 onto Washington Road.
If you lose the right turn, you
wont need the circle because you
dont have two roads merging,
Payne said. Of course, we want
to protect Penns Neck, but its not
only there. This heavily affects
every commuter that comes
through the area as well. I trust
Mayor Hsueh will do the right
thing by us. I know well keep
working until we get it right.

ts that time of the year. That time
when public school Boards of Edu-
cation are finalizing budgets and
announcing to their respective con-
stituents how much more they will pay
in school taxes next year.
We say more because its hardly
ever less.
Homeowners in New Jersey expect
to pay high property taxes, fueled in
large part by taxes from our local pub-
lic school districts. Its a way of life
that, while were not happy with, we
accept.
It seems each year that more and
more families are moving out of New
Jersey because of these high property
taxes, but those people usually dont
move away until after their kids gradu-
ate high school.
Overall, our states public schools
are exceptional its one of the main
reasons that so many families contin-
ue to raise their kids here.
So it should be no surprise and
shouldnt cause too much anger to
learn that New Jersey spends more per
public school student than most of the
country.
The third annual Taypayers Guide
to Education Spending released re-
cently shows that New Jerseys public
school districts spent an average of
$18,0147 per pupil in 2011-12. That was
an increase of 4 percent over the year
before, according to the state.
Yes, that is expensive. But isnt it
worth it?
New Jersey public school students,
as a whole, have some of the best test
scores in the nation. Whats that old
saying: You get what you pay for?
If you want good schools, you need
to spend money.
Can school districts throughout the
state do a better job of spending while
ensuring the best education possible
for students? Of course they can and
they should.
But high school taxes are, unfortu-
nately, a way of life in New Jersey, and
it will continue to be that way for quite
some time.
Property tax relief may be in sight
in the near future, but expecting to pay
what other states pay is unrealistic.
Frankly, we shouldnt want to pay
what other states pay in school taxes,
because we get what we pay for some
of the top public schools in the nation,
which help churn out some of the best
public school students as well.
in our opinion
School taxes are high...
...But so are our kids test scores. Should we really be that upset?
What are your thoughts?
No one likes paying taxes, especially
when they are as expensive as they are
here in New Jersey. But are you getting
what you are paying for? Speak up and
let your voice be heard on the subject.
letter to the editor
Mayor explains details
of the Route 1 project
I would like to explain the collaborative
process taking place concerning improve-
ments to Route 1 by the regional mayors,
large tract property owners, and the state
Department of Transportation. Many of
us remember the Penns Neck Environmen-
tal Impact Study that recommended im-
provements to the Route 1 corridor
through West Windsor including Route 1 in
a cut under Washington Road, an overpass
at Harrison Street, a replacement bridge
over the Millstone River and a Vaughn
Drive connector to Washington Road
(County Route 571) near the Sarnoff prop-
erty and Route 64 Bridge.
In 2007, state funding was available to
construct some or all of these improve-
ments $178 million was budgeted contin-
gent on West Windsor going forward with
its redevelopment around the train station,
which was being planned at the time.
The discussion on redevelopment
around the West Windsor train station that
was occurring at the time resulted in a new
council being elected, and the planning
process stalled. In 2008, the state withdrew
the money for the infrastructure improve-
ment project.
In 2009, I initiated the Regional Mayors
Coalition of the then six municipalities
(South Brunswick, Plainsboro, Princeton
Township, Princeton Borough, Lawrence
Township, and West Windsor) so that we
could speak with the DOT commissioner
about improvements to Route 1 with one
voice and consensus. This proved to be
very successful.
In 2010, after litigation, the plan for rede-
velopment around the West Windsor train
station was settled and an application had
been started for Transit Village Designa-
tion. This redevelopment area was based
on the Vaughn Drive connector, a part of
the Penns Neck EIS, and the conversation
about construction of this road was re-
newed with the DOT. There was now a new
administration and a new commissioner
that had to become familiar with regional
needs.

APRIL 17-23, 2013 THE WEST WINDSOR SUN 7
Letters to the editor
In 2011, the DOT began looking
at a $2 million project that would
close left turns along Route 1
northbound and southbound.
Before the changes were made
permanent, the DOT decided to
close off the left turns at Wash-
ington Road and Harrison Street
for a trial period of three months.
The no left turn trial was post-
poned to 2012 because of other
road construction that was in
progress.
In 2012, the no left turn trial
began. Unintended consequences
of lost drivers looking to get to
Princeton and making k-turns
and u-turns along Washington
Road in Penns Neck caused
undue hardship and danger to the
residents and their families. In
visiting the area, Commissioner
Simpson saw firsthand the im-
pact the trial had on our residents
and ended it one month early.
Which brings us to 2013. The
Regional Mayors Coalition con-
tinues to meet with the DOT.
Commissioner Simpson is still
working with the Coalition to find
money to make improvements to
alleviate traffic congestion along
the Route 1 corridor.
At the Coalitions last meeting
with the commissioner, a concept
plan that DOT engineers had de-
veloped for improvements on
Route 1 in West Windsor was pre-
sented.
This concept plan removed the
signal at Fisher Place, restricted
left turn movements at Washing-
ton Road and Harrison Street and
added a new at-grade signalized
crossing midway between Wash-
ington Road and Harrison Street,
and a u-turn at Washington Road
for southbound motorists.
This project would cost $33 mil-
lion and $40 million. Mayors
voiced concerns about the impact
on their municipalities and resi-
dents.
As a result, a process began to
collect comments, ideas and con-
cerns and to develop a consensus
of the regional mayors, Mercer
County and large land tract own-
ers who would be impacted the
most to develop a concept plan
agreed to by all.
This concept plan would then
be shared with respective coun-
cils, committees and residents for
additional public comments and
concerns. We would then, hope-
fully, have a consensus on a con-
cept plan to formally present to
the DOT.
I suspect Princeton felt it was
far enough along with its ideas to
share an aerial map depicting
some suggested improvements
with its council on Monday night,
April 8.
Until I see what Princeton Uni-
versity and Stanford Research In-
stitute receives from its engineers
and another follow-up meeting
with all parties involved, I dont
know what the conceptual im-
provements will look like. So far,
we only have ideas and possibili-
ties.
The aerial map, which current-
ly exists, was intended to be an
initial graphic representation of
a number of ideas and for discus-
sion purposes only by regional
professionals, mayors and major
property owners in response to
the DOTs latest concept.
This concept review process
started when the West Windsor
Township engineering division
overlayed regional infrastructure
concepts that had been proposed
in the past with the jughandles
proposed by the DOT. This in-
cluded the Sarnoff General De-
velopment Plan.
Our meetings with the regional
engineers, Mayors and major
non-residential property owners
have been to formulate a response
to the DOT concerning the
jughandles concept.
My concerns are that we main-
tain east/west connectivity and
protect the Penns Neck area from
the unintended consequences
that resulted from the no left turn
trial.
We are glad that the DOT has
provided more money to do some-
thing to address congestion in the
Route 1 corridor.
We now have to build consen-
sus on what those improvements
should look like.
I was pleased that the senior
vice president from SRI flew here
from California to participate
with the regional engineers and
mayors and to review the traffic
ideas currently being discussed.
SRI and Princeton University will
be discussing these ideas and pos-
sibly generating their own in the
coming weeks with their engi-
neers and management.
As large land tract property
owners, it is essential to obtain
their commitment and consensus
to what the Coalition will propose
to the DOT, because certain infra-
structure improvements may af-
fect their future development po-
tential as well as master plan obli-
gations.
Once these two stakeholders
provide their input, we will look
to develop a consensus among all
of the regional participants on a
concept that is affordable and
doable within the DOT time-
frame.
It will be at this time that we
will be in a position to discuss the
most feasible concept with every-
one in the area, including full gov-
erning bodies and residents.
We recently received the moni-
toring results of the no left turn
trial from the DOT. We need to re-
view the results and assess the
data in combination with any fu-
ture concept.
At this point in time, there is
no consensus on what we will fi-
nally propose to the DOT. Stay
tuned.

One of the most exciting com-
munity events held at Mercer
County Park is the Paddle for
Pink Dragon Boat Festival, host-
ed by the Machestic Dragons,
New Jerseys first breast cancer
survivors dragon boat team. Pad-
dle for Pink is New Jerseys
largest community Dragon Boat
Festival, and 2013 celebrates the
seventh anniversary of the fun
festival at Mercer County Park.
This is the first year the event
will be held on a Saturday and
takes place on June 8. The site of
the festival has also moved east-
ward to a new area of the lake at
the Finish Tower Field Area of
Mercer Lake between the marina
and tennis courts. Each year the
event has grown in participation
and support resulting in the need
for this grand new site for 2013.
Community participation
makes this festival special. Last
year 45 teams competed in the ex-
citing races. The Machestics in-
vite you to form a team to com-
pete in this fun event. Up to 20
paddlers can make up a dragon
boat team and race against other
teams in their category. Last year
eight breast cancer survivor
teams gathered from the tri state
region, and in 2013 we welcome
back four of those teams that
have registered early to take ad-
vantage of the discounted early
bird price. Teams of area educa-
tors, neighbors and friends, busi-
ness sponsored teams, semi-pro-
fessionals and teams compiled of
all women make up this potpour-
ri of fun lovers that will compete
for medals and bragging rights
while helping to support this
charitable cause. Its a fun event
that benefits local families affect-
ed by breast cancer.
BCRC, Breast Cancer Resource
Center of Princeton, remains one
of the charities that will be a
benefactor of the festival. To date,
the Machestic have donated
$50,000 to BCRC to enable their
free services to breast cancer sur-
vivors.
All registered teams are given
one practice on the water with
coaching and equipment provid-
ed by the Machestics. A free gift
to commemorate this event will
be distributed to all paddlers at
Paddle for Pink. The cost for en-
tering a team in PFP is $825. After
April 30 the cost of a team to
enter is $900. Individuals may
also register, see our website for
details. On land music, dance
and other entertainment, food,
awaits your attention. Vendors
may reserve a space to support
this cause. There will a 50/50 raf-
fle drawing, silent auction, cultur-
al dance and ceremonies.
The Machestic Dragons wel-
come hands-on support from or-
ganizations and individuals as
well as donations to make this fes-
tival fruitful. The Machestics
president, Carol Watchler, invites
you to visit our website to get a
better understanding of what the
