He made the request at Borough Council's Feb. 25 meeting, urging them to adopt an ordinance to that effect. But Shore is not just an outspoken participant in most council meetings; he is on the board of directors of the Flemington Business Improvement District."

"DOT to repave 1.2 miles of Route 202 north of Flemington Circle Route 202 will be resurfaced in both directions from just north of the Route 202-31 traffic circle in Flemington to north of Greenwood Drive in Raritan Township. The DOT's contractor, Arawak Paving Co., has begun preliminary operations to prepare the roadway for resurfacing this week. Route 202 carries two travel lanes in each direction. Resurfacing operations will require single lane closures on Route 202 in both directions during overnight and off-peak hours. One travel lane on Route 202 will be maintained in each direction at all times during construction. All work is weather dependent. The $1.2 million project will mill and repave the travel lanes and shoulders along a 1.2 mile stretch of Route 202, as well as make curbing and guide rail improvements. Completion is scheduled for early 2012."

Hunterdon seeks $226,461 homeland security grant to fund crime-scene truck for Prosecutor's Office, equipment for fire and rescue units FLEMINGTON - After a lengthy discussion, the Freeholders voted 4-1 to approve the request of Prosecutor Anthony Kearns to seek federal homeland security grant funds for a $57,000 crime-scene investigation vehicle. The truck would be part of $226,461 in equipment and services for a variety of law enforcement, emergency medical, fire and public health projects that would be grant-funded.

This really interest me because i'm really surprised that Hunterdon seeks that much money for homeland sercurity.

Hunterdon Central scored a resounding 42-7 victory over Bridgewater-Raritan in the semifinals of the NJSIAA North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 playoffs last night in Flemington.

This is a story from 2010.

Bicyclist Frank M. Stellmah Jr., 53, with addresses in Flemington and Lebanon, was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice, driving the wrong way on a one-way street and failure to stop for a police officer on Tuesday, Oct. 18.

Summary: Two shoppers were injured when a motorist accidentally rammed his vehicle into McCaffrey's market at the Princeton Shopping Center yesterday afternoon. This contains proximitey (Princeton is close to Flemington) and timelines (it happened this morning). This is news worthy because it is crazy to hear a car crashed into a shopping center.

In the past, Central has had a strong music scene, one filled with a wide variety of music styles and bands. A lot has changed in the last few years, and the difference, according to some people, is not positive and needs repair. 2008 Central graduate Jeff Hersch was a previous member of the once popular Central group Knockout Theory, and he has many years under his belt as a musician in a fluctuating scene. "The music scene has definitely gotten smaller…and worse," he said.

Nearly two years after coming to the aid of an elderly woman who almost drove the wrong way on Route 202-31, 19-year-old Paul Tarashuk Jr. is still amazed at what he did.

Cars heading west on Walter Foran Boulevard can go straight across Rt. 31 from the middle lane or the right lane. However, just east of Rt. 31, the two lanes must merge quickly and often dangerously, and I'm sure not all drivers in the right lane know that their lane will vanish momentarily. Solution: the right lane should only be for right turns north onto Rt. 31. Now that we have a beautiful new alignment at the intersection of North Main and Park Avenue, why was a left-turn arrow not been incorporated into the traffic light? The time to make these kinds of decisions is during major construction.
