As many people know, Plywood Junction is more than a ghastly eye- sore — it’s an embarrassment — with little being done to rectify this disgraceful state. The Mayor’s in- difference to the decay is shameful and the dreaded Village Transit Center will bring overcrowding in the schools, further traffic snarl ups, and even greater delays at the station, the roundabout, and the bridge. This white elephant has got to be stopped — now. But oh for bucolic Cranbury! Where birds do sing and a brook babbles from a tranquil lake. Where children ride bikes in peace and good citizens stroll down syl- van sidewalks for a glass of wine, a pot of tea, or a stack of pancakes.

And now my wife and I can safely avoid the Junction’s mess as we go about our business in Princeton and Trenton — passing on the way through pret- ty Plainsboro whose attractive shops, excellent restaurants, and beautiful library leave Plywood Junction sprawling in the dust. Perhaps the poet Rupert Brooke had Cranbury in mind when he wrote “Yet stands the Church clock at ten to three? And is there honey still for tea?” He certainly wasn’t thinking of Princeton Junction. *For Coldwell Banker New Jersey NRT based on NRT 2007-2009. *Based on Trend MLS 2009.

Residents will be permitted only to put out for collection each week what will fit in the receptacle. “That way, we have consistency and we know exactly what the costs will be based on tonnage,” she said. This may even help reduce costs, she said. She also emphasized that residents should be encouraged to recycle. Ciccone said she would advo- cate approving a shorter contract this year in case the township wants to implement a program where it would have to purchase the recep- tacles for the following year and start a new program then. Not all residents seemed to be on board with the idea. Resident Andy Bromberg said questioned what he would do in the summer if he had a party that generated more trash than can fit into the provided recep- tacle. He said that as it is now, he usually puts out about three trash cans a week. Resident David Siegel echoed the sentiment, saying resi- dents would be restricted to the amount of garbage they could put out each time. At The Finish Line: Schenck Farm

he contracts for the remaining Twork at the Schenck Farmstead will be on the agenda during the Township Council’s meeting on Monday, August 16. A contract to Kunzman Con- struction for $167,257.20 — the lowest of seven bidders ranging up to $313,000 — is expected to take care of the final work related to the reconstruction of the school house and wagon house located at the Schenck Farm on Southfield Road. In June, the council rejected two bids, including one from Kunz- man, and another from Dell-Tech Inc., because both were found to be “non-responsive.” That was be- cause they both failed to acknowl- edge receiving an addendum to the original bid specifications. The rest of the bids exceeded the town- ship’s budget for the project. With the new bids in, officials AUGUST 13, 2010 THE NEWS 21 are hopeful they are making their way to the final close out of the pro- ject, which will renew the histori- cal landmark in the heart of the township. Business Administrator Robert Hary also reported during the meeting that because bids came back at a lower price than expected, the township has enough money to cover the installation of the bath- rooms on site in this phase of the project — a portion of the project they thought would have to come later.
