Mayor's Update - July 11, 2023

23-A North Main Street  •  Cranbury, NJ 08512

Dear Cranbury Residents,

At last night’s Township Committee meeting, we heard a detailed plan to replace and install new street signs with integrated way finders, for a more consistent and holistic look for the historic district signage. This will be implemented in stages over the next 9-12 months, so look for these around town soon.

We’ll be mailing out tax bills over the next few weeks; we kept municipal taxes flat and used $1.0 Million in surplus for annual road repairs and paving projects.

We were also notified recently that Linda Greenstein put $300,000 in funds in the New Jersey FY2024 budget for the installation of an “inclusive playground” in Village Park.  We thank Senator Greenstein for her continuous support of Cranbury and presence at town events.

Over the past few weeks, Plainsboro Road was paved.  The new surface features improved ADA-compliant crossings and a new crosswalk at O’Brien Rd.

Petty Road re-paving has started. Please observe posted detours during reconstruction of this road.

Senior Survey.  The Cranbury Mayor's Wellness Committee would like input from our senior residents about future programming. Please take this survey to make your voice heard about senior services in our town.
