Princeton Township completes deer reflector installation

By: David Campbell
   The installation of deer reflectors on The Great Road and Rosedale Road has been completed, according to Princeton Township Engineer Bob Kiser.
   Township police and Princeton animal control will now monitor the two sites to gauge the effectiveness of the reflectors, he said.
   Two weeks ago, workers met with setbacks installing the 24-inch metal posts for the reflectors into the rocky shoulders of the roads, postponing completion.
   About 1½ miles of Strieter Corp. reflectors were installed on Rosedale Road between Province Line Road and the entrance drive to Constitution Hill, spaced every 40 feet.
   One mile of ARZ Media Corp. reflectors were installed on The Great Road between the Transco gas pipeline right-of-way and Ridgeview Road, spaced every 60 feet.
   The Township Committee appropriated $22,000 for the pilot program, and is expected to be reimbursed half by participating area businesses.
   The Deer Management Options Task Force, which recommended the pilot program, is overseeing the business contributions.
