MASTER PLAN CIRCULATION ELEMENT:

Chris Dochney presented the Master Plan Circulation Element prepared by CME Associates
as a large overview of the town to identify its traffic and transportation patterns. The plan
was created by traffic and travel data as well as surveys taken by the public.

Mayor Yates highlighted the intersection of Maple Ave and Grovers Mill Road as a significant
traffic concern. Ms. Kanitkar highlighted the intersection of Schalks Crossing and Ridge Rd.
going onto Rt. 1 in South Brunswick was a major traffic concern. The Board further
discussed the active development in South Brunswick that may impact circulation in the
area.
There are 4 amendments to the Plan:
- Princeton University objected to having a trail included on the presentation map
surrounding the Landing Development — trail will be removed from map
- During the Rt 1 bridge construction project Stellarator Rd will not be closed.
- Tiger Transit parking garage is located on Washington Rd. not Alexander Rd.
- Intersection of Edgemere Ave and Maple Ave’s design contributes to traffic pattern,
specifically the angles of roads.

At this point the Chairman opened the hearing for public comment:

JERRY FOSTER [former Plainsboro resident, current West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian
Alliance member] requested that the term “schools” be included in objective #5 of the
Coordinated Land Use Planning and Transportation planning as a specific connectivity focus.

Rashik [CMS student] — suggested a “Rapid Fire Blinking Beacon” at the crosswalk at high
school North and CMS.
