In it’s infinite wisdom, the town council is planing to ask the county for a reduction of the speed limit on Route 526 from 45 mph to 35 mph. If this sounds at all familiar to you it should, they tried the same thing years ago and failed. At the January 14the meeting, the council unanimously approved a resolution to send a letter to the county requesting the speed limit be reduced.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with this stretch of road, it connects West Windsor to Route 33.  Councilwoman Christine Ciaccio said that West Windosor’s 35 mph speed limit factored into the decision to try again. “This is important because in West Windsor, it’s already 35 mph” Ms. Ciaccio said at the meeting. “It’s become a bad road for bicycles and kids that are just out walking.”

The council is hoping the addition of Robbinsville High School will help sway the county, a factor that did not exist the last time they attempted this.
