Dashield honored on retirement as Princeton administrator
If Princeton Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield thought he could retire very quietly, he was sadly mistaken when current and former Princeton Council members and municipal staff gathered online to send him off into the next chapter of his life.
Dashield, whose retirement took effect April 1, was praised for his good nature and calm presence by well-wishers that also included community members at the March 30 Zoom meeting.
Former Mayor Liz Lempert was the first of many to compliment and thank Dashield for his nearly six years of service in Princeton’s top administrative job. He was the second administrator of the newly created town that was formed in 2013 after the merger of the former Princeton Borough and former Princeton Township.

The Princeton Council will begin its public meetings with a “land acknowledgement” – three sentences that acknowledge the history of the land on which the Municipality of Princeton sits.
Read aloud at the Princeton Council’s March 8 meeting, it states that “We gather today on the land of the Lenni Lenape. As members of the Princeton community, we aspire to show appreciation, respect and concern for all peoples and our environment.
“We honor the Lenape and other Indigenous caretakers of these lands and waters, the elders who lived here before, the Indigenous today, and the generations to come,” the Land Acknowledgement states.

Vision Zero Task Force formed to reduce traffic crash injuries, fatalities
Traffic accidents claimed the lives of three pedestrians and injured 78 people in Princeton between 2015 and 2019 – but if the Vision Zero Task Force has its way, pedestrian deaths and serious injuries will be a thing of the past.
The Princeton Council has authorized the creation of the Vision Zero Task Force, which aims to present a set of specific improvements to roadway design standards, traffic signal policies, street lighting policies and enforcement activities by the end of this year.
