I really have nothing to add to this story — so tragic — except to say that I can see people develop fears of bridges.

Tide turning on Jamesburg library?
Check out tomorrow’s Cranbury Press for a story on what appears to be a change of heart about the proposed referendum to defund the Jamesburg Public Library. Mayor Tony Lamantia and council members Barbara Carpenter and Tom Bodall already want it tabled or killed — just one more council member and it dies.
Read the story and the editorial and then get out to next week’s meeting.

A traffic fix that makes sense
This proposal for a revision of the traffic pattern at Route 522 and Route 1 (encompassing Stouts Lane, as well) may sound confusing, but it can only make a poor intersection function more logically.
As things stand now, you can’t get from northbound Route 1 to the section of Route 522 known as Promenade Boulevard — a huge issue for residents of Princeton Gate and Princeton Walk. Nor is there an easy and logical way to get into the new Target shopping centere — unless you know the side entrance.
So adding a new reverse jughandle heading north and realigning Stouts just makes sense. Plus it will help with what is becoming an annoying traffic backup from Route 1 heading west that blocks the left-turn access onto Stouts.
Let’s hope the state agrees.

Runner’s diary, Thursday
Another outdoor run, battling the thick, humid air. Mike and I trudged out and managed to get in four miles in an embarassing 41:59 — embarassing because I should be running that in about 36-37 minutes. But, alas, it was hot and I’ve not been on my game.
But four runs totalling 17 miles is a decent haul for the week, with another three-miler on tap either tomorrow or Saturday — if I can arrange it. We’ll see how it goes.
No music today (would have been rude to wear headphones, now, wouldn’t it?).
