Pennington Day celebration Residents push toreduce speed limit

on Bear Tavern RoadBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

In an effort to further reducethe speed limit on Bear TavernRoad in front of Bear Tavern Ele-mentary School, a group of con-cerned residents urged the town-ship committee to draft a resolu-tion at its last meeting.

Last year, this same group ofresidents successfully managedto persuade Mercer CountysBoard of Chosen Freeholders tolower the speed limit on the roadfrom 35 mph to 30 mph when chil-dren are present, with the help ofthe township and school board.

Now, in an effort to acquire thespeed limit they originally pro-posed 25 mph when children arepresent residents appeared be-fore the Board of Freeholders atits meeting on May 7.

When the residents ap-proached the Board of Freehold-ers at a meeting last Novemberwhen lowering the speed limitwas originally proposed, AaronWatson, director of the MercerCounty Department of Trans-portation and Infrastructure, saidthe board would revisit the issuein 2013.

Many residents werent satis-fied with the reduction taken in

the fall [of 2012], said Kim Robin-son, one of the main residentsconcerned. We felt the speedlimit should be 25 mph in theschool zone to match the schoolzones in every other public ele-mentary school in Mercer Coun-ty.

At that freeholder meeting, theboard asked the residents to reap-pear at its May 7 meeting thisyear, where they presented theirarguments again, persuadingthem that Bear Tavern shouldhave a 25 mph speed zone, Robin-son said.

We seemed to have convincedthem of three things, she said.One, that state law either re-quires or permits them to makethe speed limit 25 mph and thereis nothing preventing them fromdoing so; second, that the 85thpercentile rule is irrelevant to

pedestrian and driver safety in aschool zone and shouldnt havebeen used for a reason to deny thechange; and third, for safety rea-sons, a school zone should be 25mph.

Robinson relayed commentsfrom the boards members, whoall seemed to be in favor of lower-ing the speed limit to 25 mph at

Hopewell Township is working

with the Department of Environ-mental Protection to relocate theHarts Corner Schoolhouse to Al-liger Park and convert it into a

building for public use, townshipofficials said.

The historic schoolhouse,which is currently located at thecorner of Route 546 and ScotchRoad, will be moved west of theexisting parking lot at AlligerPark.

Once relocated, the buildingwill be used for recreation andconservation purposes, includingmeetings, display of historic in-formation, file storage and otherpark uses, said Paul Pogorzelski,

township engineer and adminis-trator.

The building will also be modi-fied to include restrooms.

The township is also seeking aproposed change in the purposeof the 10-acre tract to accommo-date the building and be able toprovide an onsite well and septicsystem for the new restrooms.

This project is the third andlast phase of the Hopewell ValleyVeterans Associations VeteransMemorial project at the park, ac-cording to the organizations web-site.

The newly relocated school-house will be designated as aTown Center-Interpretive/Revo-lutionary War Museum, a proj-ect that has been in the works forseveral years.

According to the HVVAs web-site, the museum will add diversi-ty and education and be an assetto the community.

The township is utilizing about

$200,000 from its open space fundfor the project.

There will be one public hear-ing on the project, slated for Mon-day, June 24 at 7 p.m. in the mu-nicipal building.

The unofficial start of summer

has come and gone. With Me-

morial Day weekend in the

rearview mirror, the focus now is on

brighter days ahead the beach, the

sun, vacations and relaxation. Presi-

dent Obama and Gov. Christie got in

the spirit last week when they toured

the Jersey Shore to assess the recovery

from Hurricane Sandy.

Even the weather is playing along,

with temperatures in the 90s last week,

and heat advisories being issued

throughout the region.

New Jersey coastal towns are hoping

and praying that the storm or other

outside forces does not affect thesummer season. And all New Jersey

residents should hope for the same, as

the summer Shore business is a huge

part of the states economy a $19 bil-

lion industry, or half of the states total

tourism revenue, according to esti-

mates.

The state is planning to spend $25

million in federal recovery money on

an advertising campaign to attract vis-

itors to the Shore. A campaign,

Stronger Than the Storm, with theTwitter hashtag #STTS, promotes the

states coast in part by providing guide-

lines and tools for people looking to

plan a New Jersey beach vacation.

A recent AAA survey says that the

Shore will be just fine, as almost 80 per-

cent of people from New Jersey and

the Philadelphia region say that Hurri-

cane Sandy has not affected their sum-

mer travel plans to the Shore.

The proof will be in the pudding,

though, once turnout can be assessed.

So, as we said in this space a few

weeks ago, make sure you travel local

this summer and visit the states won-

derful beaches. Theyre cheap, theyre

close, and theyre a lot of fun.

And while youre doing it, dont for-

get about us, either. Send us your vaca-

tion photos, and well let all yourneighbors know just how much fun

youre having.

In the meantime, enjoy the sun!

Sun-splashed summer success?Heres to hoping all goes well at the JerseyShore

Dont forget about us!

While youre vacationing this summer,dont forget about The Sun. Send usyour family or friend vacation photos,and well show everyone in town.

Medical center breaks recordwith fundraising campaign

We are pleased to share with you somegreat news. The University Medical Centerof Princeton at Plainsboro has broken an-other record, and this time, thanks to you,we can now claim the most successful capi-tal campaign in the history of any hospitalin New Jersey and of any hospital our sizein the nation. Our Design for Healing Cam-paign raised more than $171 million, arecord amount, which is especially re-markable within the context of the recentGreat Recession. The results of our cam-paign have allowed us to pay for more thanone-third of the construction of our $523

million new hospital through philanthropyalone.

An important point to remember as youconsider this recent achievement is thatwe attained this record because of you andthe commitment of our 10,000 donors to

making our collective visions of a new hos-pital not only a reality, but also a dreamcome true. UMCPP has swiftly become anationally and internationally recognized

landmark. Beckers Hospital Review hasjust listed UMCPP among the 100 GreatHospitals in the United States, and asteady stream of international delegationsfrom countries such as China, Canada,Denmark, Russia, Egypt and Poland, havetoured UMCPP to learn how they can de-sign and construct their dream hospitalswithin their own communities.

We appreciate the residents of Hopewelland Pennington, who have long supportedthe medical center. Impressively, morethan 400 individuals, business and founda-tions from Hopewell and Pennington alone

contributed to this effort. We also give spe-cial thanks to the many first-time donorsand all of those who shared the vision ofbuilding a hospital with the best care, thebest setting and most advanced technologyclose to home.

On behalf of the Princeton HealthCareSystem Foundation Board of Directors, thePrinceton HealthCare System Board ofTrustees, our medical staff, and our more

than 3,000 employees, we want to expressour heartfelt appreciation for the commu-nitys support. Your generosity helped tomake the campaign an unprecedented suc-cess and enabled us to build a hospital de-signed and equipped for the future of medi-cine. The success of this campaign is clear-ly an incredible accomplishment for ourentire central New Jersey community. To-gether, we made a substantial investmentto ensure outstanding clinical care for allour families for generations to come.

We did it. We made our dream hospital areality thanks to you.

This information was providedby the Hopewell Township Police

Department.

Following Hurricane Sandy,the most often heard complaintfrom Hopewell Valley residentswas that there was a lack of infor-mation and communication fromauthorities to residents.

Township officials used nor-mal methods of updating resi-dents in the days after the storm,including website and cable up-dates, but with much of HopewellValley left without electricity,those methods were not effective.

In an effort to improve in thisarea, Hopewell Township islaunching a new community noti-fication service designed to deliv-er important and timely informa-tion.

Officials are now able to sendrecorded voice messages to homephones and cell phones. They arealso able to send emails and textmessages. Residents need to reg-ister their cell phone numbersand email addresses.

The service that the township

is using is called Global Connect.We have already loaded the homephone numbers for all HopewellValley residents who utilize Veri-zon or Comcast for their homephones. But residents who utilizeother home phone serviceproviders, and those who wish toreceive email messages or voiceand text messages on their cellphones, must register online. Cellphone numbers and email ad-dresses will be kept confidentialand will not be provided to any-one beyond this system.

We encourage residents to visitthe Hopewell Township websiteshomepage, where there is a linkfor self-registration.

Global Connect was built toprovide secure and reliable com-munications, and connects mu-nicipal agencies to residents inreal time. Officials can map out aselect area for notification, orsend a message to all of HopewellValley, depending on the event.

Global Connect will supple-ment other methods currentlyused to rapidly get important in-formation to residents such asNixle, cable television notices andupdates to the township website.

While no method of emergencynotification is foolproof, GlobalConnect provides an additionalavenue for officials.

Once again, for residents utiliz-ing Verizon or Comcast for theirhome phone service, your homephone numbers are already in thesystem. You just need to add yourcell phone numbers and email ad-dress, if you wish. Residents withhome phone service provided byother companies need to registertheir home phones and their cell

phones and email addresses, ifthey desire to receive these mes-sages.

You can self-register using the

Global Connect link on theHopewell Township website athopewelltwp.org.

The time to register is now;dont wait for the next emergencyto happen.

For questions, please call thepolice department at (609) 737-3100 and press 0 to be connectedwith a dispatcher.

the May 7 meeting.I do feel the school zone

should be 25 mph and Ive saidthat a number of times on therecord, Freeholder Lucylle Wal-ter said.

I agree, when were dealingwith children, the speed limit

should be 25 mph, FreeholderSamuel Frisby added.The remaining freeholders, in-

cluding Andrew Koontz, AnthonyCarabelli, Ann Cannon and ChairJohn Cimino Pasquale Colavitawas absent all made commentson their agreement as well,Robinson said.

Cimino told the group that theywould approve the recommenda-tion if Hopewell Townships com-mittee provided a resolution en-dorsing the lowered speed limit.

I know that previous resolu-tions have combined issues ofroad speed and school zone speed,but we think those issues shouldbe separated, Robinson said.We want to limit this resolution

just to the school zone becausethats what were after.

Robinson explained how thereare two options for the schoolzone to maintain the flasher sys-tem and have it dropped to 25 mphonly at certain times when schooldistricts are open, or to just makeit 25 mph at all times.

Im recommending we make it25 mph all the time, she said.Doing so removes all risk ofhuman error, power failure and

human judgment, and takes theburden of responsibility off ofthe school district. I think that re-moving the responsibility fromthe school district will benefiteveryone.

Bear Tavern ElementarySchool is used by multiple organi-zations while the school isnt op-erating. Robinson used that as themain reasoning behind making it25 mph all the time.

This is a school, but it is used

by many groups in the communi-ty in addition to the school dis-trict, she said. I, personally,have held Scout meetings on the

front lawn for years. There aresports practices there, the Y runschildcare before and after school,clubs meet there, camps are heldduring the summer, enrichmentcourses are held on Saturdays,and kids go there just to play.

Its the right thing to do and ithas been the right thing allalong, said Adam Finkel, anoth-er concerned resident who waspresent at the freeholder meeting.

The township committee is

going to begin drafting a resolu-tion, but there is no definite timeas to when it will be ready foradoption.
