NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ–Rutgers University is spending $20,000 to investigate how to improve the bicycle path connecting New Brunswick and Piscataway at the site of the Route 18 bridge.
Mayor James Cahill identified the nexus of George Street and the John Lynch Bridge as a priority among missing bicycle links. The longtime Mayor asserts that the study "will provide input to the city's strategic planning and improvement projects for bridge access and bicycle network connectivity."
There are ten public schools in the City of New Brunswick, which are operated by the New Brunswick Board of Education and serve the vast majority of children in the city.
Until 2012, New Brunswick was the only municipality in Middlesex County that did not directly elect its Board of Education. In November of that year, voters narrowly decided to change to an elected board.
Now, each year, elections are held in April for the three of the nine seats on the board. Board meetings are still not recorded or televised, unlike many other school districts.
