FEBRUARY 11, 2010 SentineNORTH BRUNSWICK • SOUTH BRUNSWICK l gmnews.com SO* S.B. council chooses no. side of Ridge Road for sidewalks BY lENNIFER BOOTON Staff Writer

fter deliberating about three options, the South Brunswick Township ACouncil has chosen to lay the final portion of Ridge Road sidewalks closer to residential neighborhoods. The two-phase sidewalk project will stretch from Georges Road to Route 522 and calls for new sidewalks and improve- ments to the slt)nn sewers. The first phase stretches less than a quar- ter-mile, from Georges Road to the public serv ice casement along the south side of the road. The second phase will stretch beyond that, to Route 522. After reviewing three possible options for which side of the road to place the sec- ond-phase sidewalks on, the governing body chose the north side of Ridge Road, where there are more residences.

That option, which would have cost $ 150,0()0, concerned residents and council- men when it was first presented at the Dec. 1 meeting bccause of a lack of residences on the south side. Soutli Brunswick farm owner Robert Von- Thun expressed concerns in December alx)ut placing the second-phase sidewalks on the south side, noting that there arc over 2{X) homes on the other side of Ridge Road and only five dwellings on the .south side. Councilman Charlie Carley agreed with VonThun in December and said the council should be mindful of those concems. Cornell noted he would return in 2010 with more op- tions. The second and third options presented to the council last week weighed the costs and benefits of placing the sidewalks on the north side of Ridge Road. The second option, at a cost of $200,000, would have built brand-new sidewalks that would have commenced at the end of the phase-one sidewalks and headed straight down to Route 522 on the north side.
