Such a plan contains specific proposed near-term bicycle route network improvement projects. • Typically a grant is sought, to fund hiring of a consulting group. » Examples: Bike Plans for Monroe Twp, West Windsor, Hoboken » Princeton document authored by Charles Carmalt (2002) » Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2007-8, 278 pages, $68,000). • Decided to create a preliminary or ad-hoc bike plan patterned after ones we’ve studied, to document our ideas and recommendations, and to help define an initial bike route network. » Meanwhile, look for grant opportunities to help fund a future plan. • For manageability, parceled the Princeton map into four sectors. » Each sector gets an overview map, write-up, vision statement and wish list. » The write-up contains recommendations, and maps from various sources » Sectors A, B, and C have write-ups, while D does not. • The resultant knowledge and bike path ideas have been distilled into a proposal for a baseline “bike route network” upon which routes with wayfinding can be defined. p. 11 • PJPBAC Sept 2012 601 CHERRY VALLEY RD CHERRY VALLEY RD CHERRY PROVINCE HILL RD LINE RD 206 B ROAD GREAT HERRONTOWN C RIVER RD MOUNTAIN SNOWDEN HAMILTON ROSEDALE RD 206 604 NASSAU 27 PROVINCE A LINE RD D 206 FACULTY PRINCETON PIKE HARRISON LAKE US PROVINCE LINE RD 1 QUAKER RD 571 US 1 ALEXANDER RD WASHINGTON p. 12 • PJPBAC Sept 2012 The Bike Plan Gleans its Info from Many Sources p. 13 • PJPBAC Sept 2012 601 CHERRY VALLEY RD CHERRY VALLEY RD CHERRY PROVINCE HILL RD LINE RD 206 GREAT ROAD GREAT HERRONTOWN RIVER RD MOUNTAIN SNOWDEN HAMILTON ROSEDALE RD 206 604 NASSAU 27 PROVINCE A LINE RD 206 FACULTY PRINCETON PIKE HARRISON US PROVINCE LINE RD 1 QUAKER RD 571 US 1 ALEXANDER RD WASHINGTON p. 14 • PJPBAC Sept 2012 Ad-Hoc Bike Plan: Overview of Sector “A” Green Lines = main routes Blue Lines = connectors Yellow Boxes = “network hubs” or “traffic generators” SECTOR B MOUNTAIN LAKES MOUNTAIN SECTOR C TROLLEY TRAIL JOHNSON 206 ROSEDALE PARK SCHOOL OPEN CLEVELAND/LAFAYETTE/HODGE SPACE ELM TRAIL + EGERS- PROVINCE BRIDGE TOUNE LINE RD LAWRENCE TWP HUN SCHOOL PRINCETON UNIVERSITY (CAMPUS) 206 LOVER’S LHT LANE ← COLLEGE ROAD HUTCHISON QUAKER (ONE-WAY) DINKY ROW IAS and BATTLE PRINCETON PIKE FIELD NEW TRAIL ALEXANDER QUAKER PED BRIDGE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY (OPEN FIELDS + SOLAR FARM) TH TOWPA D&R MARKET FAIR US1 PRINCETON JUNCTION p. 15 • PJPBAC Sept 2012 Bike Plan summary: Sector “A” CHARACTERIZATION → VISION STATEMENT • The meanderings of the Stony Brook are the most important nature/scenic/historic element • The IAS Woods and Farm, along with Battlefield S.P. are the dominant open spaces, by far. • The arterials (Quaker Rd, Princeton Pike, 206, Rosedale Rd) have minimal bike-friendly connectors. • Interfaces to West Windsor (Marketfair), Lawrence Twp (L.H.T.), D&R Canal Towpath State Park • Rosedale Rd is a natural bikeway into Princeton, except for its semi-avoidable climb near Elm Rd (601). SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT → WISH LIST • The old Trolley ROW trail between JP School and Elm Rd needs to be maintained properly. • A flat approach into Princeton on Rosedale Rd via some new shortcut through Greenway Meadows. • Additional access to the D&R Towpath, through discussion with IAS and/or with Sunoco gas pipeline • Better access to the bottom of Springdale Rd after a dialog with the university re: Clubhouse Rd. • Official permission to cross the canal on ped/bike bridges belonging to the municipal golf course • An assessment of whether the level of street illumination is generally adequate for bike commuters p. 16 • PJPBAC Sept 2012 601 CHERRY VALLEY RD CHERRY VALLEY RD CHERRY PROVINCE HILL RD LINE RD 206 B ROAD GREAT HERRONTOWN RIVER RD MOUNTAIN SNOWDEN HAMILTON ROSEDALE RD 206 604 NASSAU 27 PROVINCE LINE RD 206 FACULTY PRINCETON PIKE HARRISON US PROVINCE LINE RD 1 QUAKER RD 571 US 1 ALEXANDER RD WASHINGTON p. 17 • PJPBAC Sept 2012 601 CHERRY VALLEY RD CHERRY VALLEY RD CHERRY PROVINCE HILL RD LINE RD 206 GREAT ROAD GREAT HERRONTOWN C RIVER RD MOUNTAIN SNOWDEN HAMILTON ROSEDALE RD 206 604 NASSAU 27 PROVINCE LINE RD 206 FACULTY PRINCETON PIKE HARRISON US PROVINCE LINE RD 1 QUAKER RD 571 US 1 ALEXANDER RD WASHINGTON p. 18 • PJPBAC Sept 2012 Bike Plan: Overview of Sector “C” CHERRY VALLEY PRINCETON AVE DAVIES POOR ROCKY S A FARM HILL C U P L O T T BLUE CRESTVIEW N L K SECTOR B U L R 206 I A SPRING RD O H P M HERRON- AUTUMN HILL TOWN RESERVE WOODS MONTGOMERY BUNN CHERRY CHARTER WOODS SCHOOL DRIVE HILL MOUNT EWING LUCAS VAN DYKE H ER TRANSCO RO NT PIPELINE OW N TERHUNE COMMUNITY PARK SHOPPING R E CENTER V VALLEY RD O MOUNTAIN AVE R G MIDDLE SECTOR D (LITTLEBROOK) E AND HIGH N FRANKLIN N A SCHOOLS E L E D D R W R O MERWICK O A RIDER O CEME N Y STANWORTH M COLLEGE S A TERY B SECTOR A P.

  • Open Space and Recreation Element
    1996 PRINCETON COMMUNITY MASTER PLAN Adopted – November 10, 2011 page 84 VIII. OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The Master Plan serves as a guide for the governing bodies, Regional Planning Board, and the public on appropriate uses for vacant land in the Princeton Community. The Community is approaching build-out and less than 10 percent of the Princeton Community (approximately 969 acres) is identified as vacant or farmland on the tax rolls. Of these 969 acres about 689 acres are developable. However, additional development potential remains on lands owned by various institutions in Princeton; these lands are not included in the vacant acreage. How we choose to utilize this limited commodity will shape the future development of Princeton. An examination of open space and recreation needs must take into account the competing needs identified in other elements of the Master Plan. This element contains a description of the Community’s open space and recreation needs and identifies the existing and new facilities necessary to satisfy those needs. In the late 1990’s, at the recommendation of the Regional Planning Board, Township voters approved a one cent open space tax which the voters increased to two cents in 2000. In 2001, the Borough voters approved a one cent open space tax. These taxes can be used to: acquire, develop and maintain lands for recreation and conservation purposes; acquire farm land for farmland preservation purposes; preserve and acquire historic properties, structures, facilities, sites, areas, or objects for historic preservation purposes; and pay debt service on indebtedness issued or incurred by the Borough or Township for any of the above-named purposes.

  • Princeton (1110)
    Princeton (1110) Introduction This municipal chapter is an element of the Mercer County Wastewater Management Plan prepared by the Mercer County Planning Division in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15. Princeton is located in the north eastern portion of Mercer County and encompasses approximately 17 square miles. Princeton is suburban with small areas of contiguous rural landscape surrounding a densely developed downtown. In 2013, this area, previously a self- governing New Jersey municipality and known as Princeton Borough, was merged with Princeton Township. This merger resulted in a self-governing municipality now known as Princeton. See the new Princeton municipal boundary on Map 1 - Jurisdictional Boundaries in the County Summary. The downtown area is densely populated with a variety of housing, commercial uses, and large educational campuses. The Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton University, West Minster Choir College-Rider University, and Princeton High School campuses together comprise over 25 percent of the land that was once the Borough. In addition to its internationally known educational campuses, the character of the downtown area is defined by its historic structures and cultural resources. Route 27 is the main street which contains a mix of shops, restaurants, and housing across from the Princeton University Campus. Both suburban and rural lands are intersected by a network of streams that make their way through to other municipalities and define the southeastern and eastern borders of Princeton. The major streams on the western side of Princeton are bordered by preserved open space. Approximately 3 percent of Princeton’s land, in the southeastern corner, is located in the agriculture development area and is eligible for farmland preservation programs.
