LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, June 27

Mayor shows bias against merchants
To the editor:
   
I found Mayor Marvin Reed’s comments in your front-page story on the parking shortage (The Packet, June 17) to be in incredibly poor taste.
   Throughout the entire parking garage process, I disagreed with the mayor’s seemingly disrespectful approach to the merchants. It wasn’t until I read the article that I realized the reason — Mayor Reed views the downtown Princeton businesses as adversaries of the borough.
   What a relationship!

Follow process to change speed limit
To the editor:
   
I am writing to you as a result of your great coverage concerning the change in speed limit on Alexander Road in West Windsor (The Packet, June 20).
   Two thumbs up for West Windsor Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh for informing the "several disappointed council members" who wanted to post "illegal" speed limit signs on our township’s roadways. I was happy to read that one of our finest, Lt. Frank Coyle, is on top of the situation as well.
   As our mayor pointed out to the council, there is a legal process that one needs to follow in order to change a road’s speed limit. This process has been put in place to help prevent the very thing the "disappointed council members" wished to do. Most rules and regulations are the result of previous problems and are enacted to prevent the very type of problem that the council was trying to do.
   I am glad that our mayor informed the council of the proper procedure one must follow and that Lt. Coyle backed him up. This is an example of the council working together to solve issues concerning us all.
