Between The Lines

What are those tombstone-like signs attached to the

elms that line Washington Road leading from Route 1 into Princeton?

No, it’s not Halloween in May, but rather a protest emanating from

the growing controversy related to the proposed Millstone Bypass that

would eliminate several traffic lights on Route 1 and divert traffic

on a new road that would run along the D&R Canal.

The common wisdom is that West Windsor is in favor of the bypass and

that Princeton Borough and Township are opposed. But it’s not that

simple. This newspaper, for example, takes the West Windsor point

of view on about 90 percent of the project, but agrees with Princeton

that the portion along the canal is a mistake. We think that portion

could instead be made a service road running close to and parallel

with Route 1 between Harrison Street and Washington Road. Washington

could remain open for right hand turns off and on to Route 1 South,

and those majestic elms could remain intact.

We also have heard some West Windsor residents voicing concern about

the reduction of their access to Route 1.

And not everyone in Princeton is opposed to the bypass. Richard and

Sallie Jesser of 540 Prospect Avenue, Princeton, sent to the

Washington

Road Elms Preservation Trust. In it these Princeton residents take

issue with just about every argument that the opponents raise. The

Jessers also included a letter sent to James Weinstein, Department

of Transportation, that ended with a plea that many Route 1 commuters

would endorse: "Please complete this project as expeditiously

as possible."

CLINPHONE IS THRILLED with the coverage that U.S. 1 provided for the

R & D special section on May 17. However, we would like to make a

few corrections. We actually have 12 U.S. staff members with over

100 employees worldwide (including our U.K.-based headquarters) and

we have increased our square footage to accommodate our growth —

our U.S. office space is now in excess of 2,500 square feet.

Our expansion is phenomenal — we will be relocating within Mercer

County to a 7,000 square-foot facility in another four months to

initially

accommodate another six or seven staff members. We are also launching

a Chicago office during the summer and expanding further into Europe

with the launch of an office in Brussels, Belgium.

ClinPhone is also expanding its services. We will be launching an

Electronic Data Capture (ClinPhone.edc) service at the 36th annual

meeting of the Drug Information Association in San Diego, California,

June 11-14. ClinPhone.edc offers an easy-to-use, delay-free web-style

interface to allow for easy clinical trial data collection. The system

is extremely secure — neither a web server nor an active Internet

connection is required. A browser controls access to pages, which

can be customized according to individual client needs. An edit check

feature helps prevent mistakes while an audit system ensures full

compliance with FDA guidelines.
