Lumberton Township is proposing to improve a gravel trail that runs parallel to Bobbys Run Creek from Landing Street to Tynemouth Drive. This existing trail lies within a sanitary sewer easement for the MUA. Lumberton Township is proposing to make this a 10′ wide multi use paved pathway. The other aspect to this project includes the construction of a pedestrian bridge and boardwalk that will connect Canterbury Court to Tynemouth Drive, where a pedestrian bridge previously existed. The proposed pedestrian bridge will include fencing and lighting to enhance safety and security. These pathways are aimed at reconnecting sections of Lumberton Township to allow for families, students, and residents to travel to recreation, athletic, municipal, and other amenities without use of a vehicle. The improvements can be seen in the Aerial Concept below.
Lumberton Township is applying for funding for this project through the NJDOT Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TA Set-Aside) program which provides federal funds for community based “non-traditional” surface transportation projects designed to strengthen the cultural, aesthetic, and environmental aspects of the nation’s intermodal system.
