Center of College Ace to be renovated!
Is there any pictures of what this will look like once complete?
George Street is pretty important for cars navigating the area.That’s good news for the College Ave area. Brower Commons was crappy in the early 90’s. I can imagine what it looks like now.
Although it wasn’t explicitly stated, it would be great if college ave from Brower Commons to the River was closed to cars and buses and just make it a big plaza.
Great News.

It’s in the Master Plan document that might still be floating around on the Issues Board.None were provided.

And as @rufancoe00 said, it’s really impressive.
How are they planning to clean up the water and make it look like that?It’s in the Master Plan document that might still be floating around on the Issues Board.

Just the center? So, like, they're going to repaint the double-yellow line?
I used to think the same thing but was explained by somebody who would know, that's what a dormitory is...temporary housing.Amazingly, it looks like two of the river dorms will stay put. Probably urban legend but I always heard these were supposed to be used for 10 years as "temporary housing" back in the 50s and 60s.
I'm pretty sure that urban legend has conflated the river dorms with the temporary WW2 surplus barracks that were erected in the same location in the late '40's to handle the huge influx of former GI's coming in.I used to think the same thing but was explained by somebody who would know, that's what a dormitory is...temporary housing.
The Raritan River is not a dirty river. Like most rivers in NJ (especially the Passaic) is has a muddy bottom which makes it appear dirty.How are they planning to clean up the water and make it look like that?
Parking underground. It’s in the report.Where does the power plant end up in this plan along with the parking garage they would have to tear down? When I hear about things happening from a report like this or a master plan my first reaction is not 'it's happening'
UMAINE runs those billboards all over the northeast, saying they will match the local in-state tuition of each state's state U.This will go a long way in helping recruit students. many other campuses are noewer and more modern. Just like when we take a job we want new and modern vs a crusty old work environment.
As a side note i saw an ad on the Turnpike for Univ of Maine offering NJ kids rates equal to what they would pay at Rutgers in state.
The steam plant is being relocated and made much smaller (more modern systems).Where does the power plant end up in this plan along with the parking garage they would have to tear down?

Except that means college life in freakin ORONO Maine...not the end of the earth but it is visible from there!!!This will go a long way in helping recruit students. many other campuses are noewer and more modern. Just like when we take a job we want new and modern vs a crusty old work environment.

Nobody wants to go to Orono??
I'm actually very impressed at the recollection you just demonstrated by remembering that segment of that movie. I can't remember what I had for lunch, an hour ago.
Way back when there was talk of getting the river clean enough to reintroduce salmon into the north and south branch rivers in hope they would eventually spawn. I never heard of them stocking the rivers. Not sure if the Raritan holds any shad either, but if they can't navigate the bay because of pollution, they'll never make it to NB.The Raritan River is not a dirty river.

That's a whole different kind of dirty. I would not eat anything caught in the Raritan river.Way back when there was talk of getting the river clean enough to reintroduce salmon into the north and south branch rivers in hope they would eventually spawn.

As a kid we use to catch herring below the dam on Farrington Lake by exit 9 of the Tnpk that had migrated up.
Amazingly, it looks like two of the river dorms will stay put. Probably urban legend but I always heard these were supposed to be used for 10 years as "temporary houseing" back in the 50s and 60s.
So surf & turf and mixed grill are out ? Go with the farm raised fare.That's a whole different kind of dirty. I would not eat anything caught in the Raritan river.
Then again, I don't eat seafood at all, so it's a moot point for me. If a cow or chicken steps in a small stream, it's right off my menu.
...and how exactly do you monitor said cows or chickens to make sure no stream steps were taken?If a cow or chicken steps in a small stream, it's right off my menu.
It's like when I've been out doing ocean sailing races and am handed a sandwich made by a crew-member that I know took the opportunity, while below deck, to visit the head and, at best, washed his hands with the water in the holding tank - which is loaded with all kinds of nasty bacteria, or skipped it altogether....and how exactly do you monitor said cows or chickens to make sure no stream steps were taken?
