Hemi Nae of West Windsor
I still believe that the West Windsor redevelopment plan is a bad plan. It does not offer solutions to traffic congestion. It does not include environmental and fiscal analysis. It does not include any input from the region and very limited input from state agencies. It does not enhance mixed use all over the area but rather clusters of residential, parking and office districts. We do not have a clue what would be the impact on the residents of West Windsor, whether it is wise to build stores and offices during this terrible economic crisis, etc.
But, I have to say that what I saw at the West Windsor council meeting on the redevelopment plan was a superb example of how the process should have been handled all along. All five council members deserve kudos for their analysis of the plan and the input submitted to the council, for looking at ways to benefit theresidents of West Windsor and for moving fast on the many issues of this complex plan.
The work session was exactly that — working together, dealing efficiently with the issues and openly bringing in comments from any and all stakeholders who wanted to participate, consulting with the experts and listening to local associations and residents and including their input in the plan. Wow. I was proud and grateful.
