Dear Princeton Magazine Readers,
Though this is our Summer issue, I am still feeling like “spring has sprung” because it has been such a beautiful spring with clear days and chilly, rainy nights. This has given us one of the greenest springs ever! In fact, I can’t get over how rich all the green has been this year.
Last week I happened to make a turn west off Princeton-Hightstown Road and ended up in a residential neighborhood that is a spectacular environment. The roads are all “boulevards” with dense landscaping on each side and a central green space that separates the traffic going each way, and within these central greenways are beautiful arrangements of trees that now have 10-inch trunks. I found it hard to believe that such a wonderful environment exists. I then realized that what I was looking at was the result of careful guidance by the West Windsor Planning Board and its staff from 20 years ago. more
