Opus/Princeton South Update:

December 13th, 2007:

- Latest update on the completion of Charles Ewing Blvd, and the Mark Lane connector:
Opus was scheduled to start Mark Lane in earnest on December 10th, but weather has delayed that start. They are committed to start as soon as there is a break in the weather and they can get 15 good working days to complete the connector. Mark Lane is scheduled to open in early January.

- Rt. 31 work is ongoing. Opus is working with NJ DOT to open phases of the intersection as they are completed:

• Phase 1: Southbound Rt. 31 traffic can exit onto westbound Charles Ewing Blvd (this could happen before the end of the year).
• Phase2: Signal complete and operational prior to every patch of paving completed along the east side curb, etc. (Timing is To Be Determined). This phasing is geared toward opening the intersection to traffic as early as possible and avoid artificial delay for something like permanent striping, which cannot be done until spring temperature rise, etc.

November 7th, 2007:

- November 8th Site Review meeting - Opus has pulled the initial discussion on the Hotel plan from the Site Review and will not be presenting. They will revisit at a later date.

November 6th, 2007:

- November 8th Site Review meeting - Opus to present initial Hotel plan for Lower Ferry Road and Charles Ewing Blvd corner.

November 5th, 2007:

- Construction continues on the Opus project. To date, Opus has 4 tenants in the first building. One of them, Gallery Cafe, is a park amenity, designed to handle breakfast and lunch for up to 3 of the overall proposed buildings, once occupied. Gallery Cafe is alway open to the public for breakfast and lunch between the hours of 6 am and 2:30 pm.

- Rt. 31 update: Work at Rockleigh Drive and Rt. 31 has just received a boost as NJDOT has given Opus permission for a lane closure during the day. This should provide some relief and move the project along. Previously work was going to have been done strictly at night. A second shift is being planned and selected to get the work done ASAP.

- Mark Lane work will start in the coming weeks. Work will commence after a meeting with Township Constructions and Engineering officials.
