OCNJ girl please correct me if I'm wrong and update me on the bike path, I lost track of the issue. I pretty much only keep up with what's going on in the area via the Press of A.C.
Thats weird , i would expect them to be warm and welcoming to the Rail plans.... A direct connection to Philly = more $$$

These are county and town plans...ive given up on the state to come up with any long term plan. The towns and county do a better job.

I know it's also partially an environmental issue, that's why they're throwing a fit over the proposed bike path. That and it runs extremely close to some houses, and would run down Haven Ave.

I had a NJT employee literally give me ridership data for almost any bus rte I asked I could have gotten rail but I was trying to make a transit proposal for NJ that would complement the rail network and proposed lines and create a grid style network making at least bus travel in SJ way better and with the cape may line even better as ppl will be transfering between them.
