TRAFFIC CALMING ALTERNATIVES FOR ROUTES 130 AND 206 IN BORDENTOWN NJ Executive Summary This study was prompted by local concern for pedestrian and motorist safety on Route 130 and Route 206, two major arterials that share a 0.8 mile section bounded by numerous commercial establishments, but with only a single controlled crossing location. Recent efforts, a Road Safety Audit and a Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, raised multiple potential solutions, but did not analyze the impacts upon vehicular mobility. This study built upon the recommendations of earlier efforts and has developed conceptual alternatives. All evaluated alternatives sought to reduce excessive speeding and improve pedestrian crossing opportunities. Many of these explored potential solutions to the large presence of heavy vehicles along Farnsworth Avenue and for economic redevelopment opportunities throughout the corridor. Preferred alternatives were identified only after receiving local stakeholder feedback, and they were based upon their feasibility for implementation and

  • The New Jersey Exit 8A Area Transportation and Land Use Study
    The New Jersey Turnpike Exit 8A Area Transportation & Land Use Study For The New Jersey Department of Transportation By The Municipal Land Use Center @ The College of New Jersey Spring 2007 Second Printing Acknowledgements This study was funded by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJ DOT). Without its funding and support in other ways the study would not have been possible. It was then Assistant Commissioner Dennis Keck, who first suggested to me the need for this study now several years ago. The helpful insights provided by the NJ DOT project manager, Paul Truban, along with his supervisor, Talvin Davis, require special mention. We met regularly throughout the one-year period of developing this report. The many stakeholder participants who gave of their time, valuable information and wisdom, through individual interviews, the numerous stakeholder forums and even comments on earlier drafts of this report are too numerous to mention here, but should not go unnoticed. One person in this regard ought to be remembered – Mr. Joseph Montanti – who was a source of great encouragement at the outset, especially for me. Joe represented Monroe Township in those forums. Unfortunately, he passed away in April 2006, just as this project was getting underway. Dr. Wansoo Im, principal of Vertices, Inc., provided his expertise related to the electronic mapping and graphics. Always patient, his work is integral to this project. It is important to note that much of Dr. Im’s work is not immediately evident in this report. He created a tool that is now in the hands of the respective municipalities to help them improve their planning across municipal boundaries.

  • Garden State Parkway Interchange 40 Improvement Feasibility Study Galloway Township Atlantic County, NJ
    Garden State Parkway Interchange 40 Improvement Feasibility Study Galloway Township Atlantic County, NJ Overview The New Jersey Turnpike Authority (Authority) has completed a study to evaluate the need for, and feasibility of completing all missing movements at Interchange 40 on the Garden State Parkway in Galloway Township, New Jersey. Based on the results of the traffic projections and impact analysis performed for each of the alternatives studied, construction of the new ramps to the missing movements at Interchange 40 is not considered critical. The current projected pattern of growth in Galloway Township, as well as the greater Atlantic City region, would not justify completion of the interchange at this time, given the significant infrastructure, utility, and environmental constraints associated with the various alternatives studied. Garden State Parkway (Parkway) Interchange 40 is a partial interchange located approximately one mile south of the Atlantic City Service Area in Galloway Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey. It primarily facilitates access to and from southeastern portions of Galloway Township and Absecon, and provides a secondary un-tolled route into Atlantic City via the White Horse Pike (US 30), a major east-west corridor. Interchange 40 provides partial access to and from the north via a southbound off-ramp to eastbound US 30, and a northbound on-ramp from westbound US 30. A southbound on-ramp and northbound off-ramp do not exist and are considered the missing movements. Access to westbound US 30 from the southbound Parkway, and to the northbound Parkway from eastbound US 30, is currently provided indirectly via a signalized jug handle at 3rd Avenue, approximately 1,400 feet east of the Interchange.

The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties as well as the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey. The Commission is an advisory agency which divides its planning and service functions among the Office of the Executive Director, the Office of Public Affairs, and three line Divisions: Transportation Planning, Regional Planning and Administration. DVRPC's mission for the 1990s is to emphasize technical assistance and services and to conduct high priority studies for member state and local governments, while determining and meeting the needs of the private sector. The DVRPC logo is adapted from the official seal of the Commission and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River flowing through it.

  • Hamilton Township, New Jersey
    Hamilton Township, New Jersey Hamilton Township turned negative publicity on the township’s approach to managing stormwater to positive action by engaging the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program (RCE). Township staff embraced a new, proactive perspective, RCE has since completed numerous implementation plans, and the community is now interested and engaged in water quality issues. By: Ryan Walker, Natural Lands Trust Background Hamilton Township, located in Mercer County, New Jersey, adjoins Trenton to the east and might be described as a typical Quick Stats suburb, given the development patterns that characterize much of Hamilton Township the township. However, in addition to the suburban landscape, Major adjoining water body: western portions serve as an extension of Trenton’s more urban Delaware River neighborhoods while areas to the south of NJ Route 130 contrast Major streams: Assunpink Creek, Pond with a distinctly rural and agricultural character. Its central location Run, Miry Run, Crosswicks Creek, Doctors between Philadelphia and New York make Hamilton an economic Creek center, with nearly 50,000 jobs in the township as of 2015. It is Population: 89,055 (2015 Five-Year also a transportation hub, with numerous highways crossing the American Community Survey) township, including Interstates 195 and 295, and the New Jersey Turnpike. Land area: 25,733 acres Water area: 870 acres (3.4%) The community is highly populous and is one of the five largest townships in New Jersey, with a population approaching 90,000.
