I'm in Belle Mead, close to the Hills border. Yes, I know about that plan. At first, it sounds crazy to put a Chik Fil A at that intersection. However, that company is very good/innovative with managing traffic and designing drive-thru lanes that can queue a ton of vehicles.
Regardless, would love a CFA in the area!
Me too
Looks like Moes is closed on 206
Yeah, I noticed that Moe's closed. That place was pretty successful until Chipotle opened in the old Stop & Shop complex. I don't think they ever recovered from that.

I see traffic nightmare.how is not going to backup even more than already at the shoprite and wawa lights
Those 2 large light-to-light loops roads are going to help a lot. No more left hand turns from 206. No more left hand turning lane or signal. Just straight and a new dedicated right-turn lane. Also, remember the 518 entrance to the Promenade. Most folks in town will use that and completely avoid 206. Fingers crossed.
Yes any updates on Rutgers campus plans and projects?
and it would be helpful if people wanting to discuss Hillsboro projects would take a hike from this thread.
Enough of the BS chatter about stuff that's not Rutgers. Start your own thread about Hillsborough nonsense.
It dont know i think it will still be badThose 2 large light-to-light loops roads are going to help a lot. No more left hand turns from 206. No more left hand turning lane or signal.

I don't know about you, but I blame the last 20 years of Montgomery mayors for everything.
Also, why can't they create some kind of access road from 518 to access the back of the Shoprite complex? I have no idea what's back there but I'm guessing it's homeowner land? Also, when will the Panera/Shake Shack be open?
What about PJ Pancake House when is that opening and when will Tigers Tale be moved? And that WaWa has to be the most run down in all of NJ
Maybe because the land behind and adjacent to the SR complex is a different freaking town. LOL! I think the mayor before me tried to create a 518 entrance but Rocky Hill had issues with the proposed plan.
However, the Whole Foods/Promenade will have a very convenient 518 entrance for folks coming from the west/Hopewell.
Wonder, Shake Shack, Panera, WF, and Ulta should all open within 2-3 months. I think Panera will be first.
Wawa has been desperately trying to get a new location and enough land for a modern complex for 15 years. We spoke with them about every side of that intersection and their attempts to buy the land. Old Texaco/parts store. The bank on the Promenade side. The existing Shell station and lawn mover business! The lawn mover guy refused to sell to Wawa. LOL!
I believe all the plans for a new TT fell apart. Not sure they are moving anymore. The Promenade offered Cory a brand new building, but it didn't work out for some reason. PJ's was delayed for 6 months due to the developer/financing but it's all been worked out. Look for PJ's to open later in the summer.
The growth of Hills is going to get a hell of a lot worse over the next decade. Sad to say. They got destroyed with the last round of NJ's COAH housing mandate.
I dont know why Hillsborough couldnt get wawa to take over Exxon on Triangle and build there
Last time I was there people were waving Confederate flags on Amwell & 206. The bad element is there already. Hope that wasn't you.
No community is safe from paid protesters on any side of an issue. Just modern society. FYI, you live in a much more rebel yell area of the state. LOL!
Paid or not, which I doubt in Hillsborough, a bit jarring to see in 2026 in any part of NJ. It was absolutely disgusting.
Yes I know that but depends which town in HC. Where I am, the river towns, and others are not.
The same “protesters” were also in Princeton for another professionally organized ICE event. Both sides feed off each other.
Regardless, way more confederate flags per capita in HC than Hillsborough. Hey, speaking of HC. Read an article that says Hunterdon Central HS enrollment is down by 1/3 over the past decade. Wow. Even with current demographic changes (less births) that’s still a huge decline. Does HC even need 3 high schools? My daughter plays against South Hunterdon quite a bit. That school population seems a little light as well.
I don't want to hijack the thread any longer but yes I saw that article as well. I would imagine they could consolidate but then some students could have a decent commute which I'm sure would be opposed. I think at minimum maybe South Hunterdon and DelVal could be combined and then maybe North and Voorhees but that is only off the top of my head.
Last thing I will say is that Kasia is a great place! Some really good stuff in there.
Yes, Kasia is awesome. I know the owner very well. It's been a great additional to the community and the complex is starting to fill out nicely. My little one and her neighborhood crew go to the Hungry Tiger Cafe all the time!
Lol if only those people had a "Hate Has No Place Here" or "Free Palestine" yard sign instead, that's better.
I lived off of New Amwell Rd. from 1990-1995.
Don’t even recognize the town now.
