To the Editor:
Hopewell’s recent road-safety wins aren’t accidents. They’re just another example of the steady, pragmatic and collaborative leadership of Mayor Courtney Peters-Manning and Deputy Mayor David Chait.
In the past year, neighbors have seen the tangible results of putting residents first and making changes that matter every day. With a speed-limit reduction on Pennington-Harbourton Road, the Township is cutting crash severity and making getting to school safer. The new traffic signal now being erected at Ingleside Avenue and on Route 31 turns a high-stress crossing into a predictable one. Together with the four-way stops added at key intersections, these steps form a coherent safety network rather than isolated fixes.
What stands out is not just the results, but the approach: listen to residents, identify the problems, study the facts, consult the experts and work with neighboring officials to implement solutions.
Hopewell is safer today, and will be safer tomorrow, because our leaders stick with the hard, unglamorous work of getting things done. I’m voting to reelect Mayor Peters-Manning and Deputy Mayor Chait so they can finish what’s underway and keep building a township where getting where you need to go is safe for all.
This is how democracy works for the betterment of all!
Sincerely,
Brian McInerny
Hopewell Township
