To the Editor:

Since many streets in Princeton are narrow, I find that I frequently need to drive defensively in order to avoid cars that are driving too fast and/or driving toward the middle of the road. This is now exacerbated with the “new and improved” trash collection system that requires the receptacles to be placed in the street awaiting collection.

Today on Henry Avenue, my car’s side view mirror was damaged by the robotic ledge on one of these trash cans. Also, these trash receptacles lined up like soldiers create a sight line issue at some intersections. Couple this with brush at the curb that will not be collected until August, and you’ve got roads in town that are increasingly difficult to navigate.
