Gloucester & Camden Residents: Speak up for Rail-With-Trail (NJ.COM))
By Denise Copeland/Betty the Bike
Residents of Gloucester and Camden counties interested in the creation of new outdoor recreational opportunities are being encouraged by the Circuit Coalition to attend a public information meeting on Monday, May 20, 2013.
The Glassboro-Camden Line Project Team will hold the meeting from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Woodbury Jr/Sr High School located at 25 North Broad Street, Woodbury.
The GCL corridor traverses Gloucester and Camden counties and includes the communities of Glassboro, Pitman, Sewell, Mantua Twp., Deptford Twp. Wenonah, Woodbury Heights, Woodbury, Westville, Brooklawn, Gloucester City, and Camden. The proposed line would restore passenger rail service along an existing rail line using light rail vehicles similar to the NJ TRANSIT River Line.
The Circuit Coalition is advocating for the inclusion of a multi-use trail along the corridor. The trail option was not included in the initial scoping of the project was not considered. Since this project is still in the early stages there is still time to study the possibility of a rail with trail.
A working example of an existing multi-use rail-with-trail in New Jersey is the Traction Line in Morris County. The Traction Line Recreation Trail is popular for biking, jogging, cross country skiing, walking and strollers, and runs along the New Jersey Transit Line between Morristown and Madison.
The purpose of the public meeting is to review the outcome of the original public scoping meetings which were held by the Glassboro-Camden Line Team in the spring of 2010. The meeting will have no formal program, and attendees may arrive at any time during the meeting hours to view project display boards.
Anyone who is interested in a multi-use trail between Camden and Glassboro should attend this meeting and speak in favor of a rail with trail option.
