Princeton Allots Additional Funds For Terhune Road Pedestrian Improvements Project

PRINCETON, NJ – Princeton Council recently allotted additional funds for the Terhune Road Pedestrian Improvements Project.

Council had earlier awarded a contract to PS&S, LLC for engineering services for Terhune Road Pedestrian Improvement project for an amount not to exceed $143,000, with the anticipated completion date of April 30, 2026.

At last week's meeting, the council increased the contract amount by $25,000.

The reason for the change is that the project will now include adding raised crosswalks at several of the intersections, Councilman David Cohen said. "I think is going to be a wonderful safety enhancement,” Cohen said.

Ina. Memo to Council, Municipal Engineer and Deputy Administrator Deanna Stockton noted that the existing curb is in poor condition. She also highlighted the scope of the entire project.

“This project will replace existing sidewalks and add missing sidewalks on Terhune Road between North Harrison Street and Mount Lucas Road. The original consultant design scope of work focused solely on the sidewalk design and permitting. The proposed amendment expands PS&S’ scope to include the design of new curbing and raised intersections,” Stockton said.

“The condition of the existing curb is poor so a full curb replacement is proposed. Additionally, raised intersections are proposed at Jefferson Road, Dempsey Avenue, and Walnut Lane to enhance pedestrian safety and support traffic calming objectives.”
