The Princeton Council has introduced a bond ordinance for $615,000 for assorted open space-related improvements, including money for the town’s planned microforest at Quarry Park.
A public hearing on the bond ordinance is set for the Princeton Council’s March 24 meeting.
The bond ordinance earmarks $293,000 for the microforest, as well as for municipal-wide tree removal and tree planting. The microforest is planned for an underutilized grass area in Quarry Park, at the end of Spruce Street. It will consist of many native trees and shrubs.
Also, the bond ordinance includes $124,000 for repairs to Quarry Park and $21,000 for the Mountain Lakes Preserve streambank restoration project.
There is $125,000 in the bond ordinance to replace the fence at Community Park South, and for open space bikeway and pedestrian improvements.
And $52,000 has been set aside for the park and open space signage project.
