Princeton should bring back fireworks

Why is Princeton once again not having fireworks on the Fourth of July? Local residents, especially the children, have enjoyed this for many years but they were stopped last year while many smaller communities with less monetary resources continue to display fireworks.

Some have said they were stopped because of the possibility that ambulances may not be able to get to Princeton Hospital. Then why not have them in another area?

I am sure somewhere along Route 460 near Arby’s there is a place that could be used so that fireworks could be viewed from almost anywhere on Stafford Drive. Or is there another reason they were stopped?
