Through patience and perseverance the Township has finally prevailed in successfully lobbying for legislation which will enable us to begin our community based deer management program. The initiative and support of the Environmental Commission, the Board of Health and hundreds of individuals who supported this effort was very important. I would like to personally thank Tom Poole and Gail Ullman for their tireless efforts. This was not an easy decision or process, but one that was critically necessary. As always stated the Township looks forward to bringing the deer herd into balance with our population and environment.
Traffic continues to be a major problem here in Princeton.
We will continue to reduce speed limits on municipal roadways and to lobby our state legislators to relocate through and truck traffic to the New Jersey Turnpike and other more appropriate thoroughfares in order to take unnecessary traffic off our local roads. We were pleased and proud to learn of the designation of Routes 27 and 206, the King's Highway, to the National Historic Register. Princeton Township took the lead in this application and it was especially unique because South Brunswick Township, Franklin Township, Lawrence Township and Princeton Borough contributed to our effort. Social Services We made great strides in the delivery of social services this past year. Crosstown 62 delivered four thousand one hundred rides for seniors.
