Did You Know?
Like so many New Jersey communities, the Mercer County town of West Windsor is faced with the sometimes-conflicting goals of smart development in the face of rapid growth, preservation of open space, and protection of natural resources. Sustainability is a particular concern, as it is for communities throughout the Northeast. The NJ Sustainable State Institute, working with graduate planning students as part of a hands-on studio class given at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, and using the sustainability planning framework developed by West Windsor’s Environmental Commission as a starting point, expanded on that framework’s breadth and detail in the specific areas of land use, circulation, society, and natural resources. They developed objectives and proposed indicators for tracking progress as well as offering recommendations, including mixed-use zones, transit-oriented development, and a community shuttle program, for possible action. Community leaders will draw on the proposals in their efforts to guide smart development.
