Monday, April 20 by silvia
Back in the fall, the WWBPA arranged a “walk and talk” with Mercer County’s engineer to discuss the new multi-use path on Edinburg Road by Mercer County Park. Part of the feedback was the need for pedestrian-activated flashing lights (rectangular rapid-flashing beacons to engineers) at the new crosswalk from Howell Court to help residents safely cross Edinburg Road (a county road).

In 2026, the all-volunteer West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance is celebrating 20 years of making our community safer and more enjoyable for everyone who walks, runs and bikes.
