To the Editor:

In reviewing the Master Plan for Princeton, it does seem to describe the need to extend certain sidewalks and walkways into Princeton. I am writing to urge residents of the neighborhoods off of Cherry Hill and Great Road to show your support for completing sidewalks and walkways on these roads leading into Princeton. Both have sidewalk/walkways partially on them, but both should run the length of these roads.

Every day I see walkers and joggers walking along these very busy roads, putting their lives at risk as neither Cherry Hill Road nor Great Road have completed sidewalks/walkways and residents are forced to walk on the roads themselves, neither of which have a shoulder. The current Master Plan seems to indicate that these roads might have sidewalks/walkways as part of the plan, however, our fear should be whether these will remain in the plan after all of the vetting and financial concerns.

I am urging everyone to advocate for more sidewalks/walkways connecting these major thoroughfares into Princeton, which will be better for our residents, students, and anyone wishing to walk to town vs. driving, which will also help with congestion in downtown Princeton.
