PETERSBURG – The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Office of Bicycle and Pedestrian Programs is seeking input Oct. 1 from Upper Township residents and visitors as part of its ongoing study of bicycle conditions in the municipality.
Through a grant from NJDOT’s Local Bicycle/Pedestrian Planning Assistance Program, Upper Township is finalizing a bicycle plan that seeks to improve mobility and safety for non-motorized traffic.
This plan included a detailed review and inventory of bicycle traffic generators, crashes, and overall conditions at major intersections and along key corridors.
Following that review, a series of conceptual recommendations have been developed to address many existing deficient conditions.
Ultimately, the recommendations are intended to create a robust bicycle network that better connects the township, enhances connections between villages and key destinations, leverages the township’s natural assets, provides connections to the regional bicycle network in adjacent municipalities, and enhances Upper Township as a tourist destination.
NJDOT staff and the consultant team will take part in a Public Information Center Oct. 1 at Upper Township Municipal Building, 2100 Tuckahoe Road, Petersburg between 6 and 8 p.m.
The event will be conducted as an open house, where the public is welcome to stop by at its convenience to review the study findings, maps, and graphics.
Residents will also have the opportunity to ask questions of the consultant team and comment on the study findings.
