Etra Lake Pathway
On April 10, the East Windsor Council awarded the Twin Rivers-Etra Lake Pathway Project to V&K Construction of Edison. This nearly one-mile long pathway will provide a convenient and safe pedestrian access from the Twin Rivers area, the Township's largest residential community, to Etra Lake Park, the Township's largest park. The Etra Lake Pathway Project consists of two sections. One section will be an 8-foot wide asphalt combination bikeway and pedestrian path from the end of Lake Drive to Milford Road. A second section will be a 5-foot wide pathway beginning at Milford Road that will cross the bridge at the end of Etra Lake and extend along the southern shore of the lake to the playground area of Etra Lake Park. A rest area with benches, a bicycle rack, sign, and trash container will be included along the pathway. A new sidewalk along the west side of Lake Drive, from Twin Rivers Drive to the cul-de-sac, will also be constructed.

News about East Windsor

In a story in the January 26th edition of the Times of Trenton, Rose Y. Colon writes:

First came a 145,000-square-foot Wal-Mart along Route 130, then the opening of the McGraw-Hill Federal Credit Union followed by the approved expansion of Shiseido and Conair to more than 1 million square feet each.

It may be hard to imagine another year of such economic boom times as the township experienced last year, but there are indications that more businesses will bloom in East Windsor in 2006.

In 2005, township officials also approved the construction of four adult communities: the Riviera at East Windsor on One Mile Road, Enchantment at East Windsor on Monmouth Street, Gentry at East Windsor on Lanning Boulevard Extension and Regency Woods at East Windsor located on Wyckoffs Mill and Prosbaco roads.

"People have already moved into the Riviera. The Gentry will feature three condominium buildings with underground parking," said Mayor Janice Mironov.

Mironov said construction for all four adult community projects will continue in 2006, along with the creation of more preserved open space and farmland in the township.

Mironov boasted about the township's inventory of more than 2,400 acres of preserved open space, the largest in the county. She said township officials had secured in December an additional 38 acres of preserved farmland along Etra Road.

"We are moving forward on four projects totaling 160 acres," she said.

The projects targeted are 17 acres on One Mile Road West, 12.5 acres off Brook Tree Road, 3.5 acres off Maple Stream Road and 121 acres on Etra Road.

Expected to be approved this year is the transformation of the 12-acre East Windsor Speedway into a community of 53 single homes. The project saw bumps along the road late last year because of contamination on the site.

What remains a mystery is the future of a 3.3-acre property along Route 130 that formerly housed a state police barracks.

Last summer, the owner of the property, Kenneth Esdale, expressed his desire to combine the barracks with the adjoining 5.1-acre property he also owns and build a Wawa convenience store and gasoline station.

The barracks site is zoned as low-density residential, which would not allow any commercial establishments, according to Mironov.

Mironov said rezoning the property is a possibility that is being considered.

"I would love to see a bookstore," Mironov said in discussing the numerous types of businesses that might come to town in 2006.
