Camden County Freeholders have asked interested citizens to comment on a proposed Bicycle Trail Plan, starting on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at the Somerdale Municipal Building.

Two other meetings have been scheduled – Feb. 24 at the Lindenwold Community Center and Feb. 25 at the Berlin Borough Community Center – to provide additional opportunities to comment, according to Freeholder Jeffrey L. Nash, liaison to the county’s division of environmental affairs.

In addition to county planners, Nash said representatives of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission will be on hand for the meetings, which begin at 7 p.m.

“The plan identifies a proposed network of interconnected on-road and off-road trails and bicycle lanes within 10 central communities in the county – Berlin Township, Berlin Borough, Clementon, Gibbsboro, Hi-Nella, Laurel Springs, Lindenwold, Somerdale, Stratford and Voorhees,” Nash said.

The plan identifies proposed streets and roads to be incorporated into the network as well as lands to be acquired. Funded through a $20,000 Smart Growth Grant from the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions, Nash said the proposal is a companion to the county’s Open Space Plan in that the trail network utilizes the proposed county greenway, as identified in the Open Space Plan, to the fullest extent possible.
