Introduction

This is the second phase (Phase II) of a multi-phase planning effort in which Camden County has defined its commitment towards the prioritization and planning for non-motorized and bicycle transportation by developing a Bicycling and Multi-Use Trails Master Plan. This plan will attempt to build on the previous planning efforts of municipalities and the County.

The Central Camden County Bicycling and Multi-use Trails Master Plan (Phase I) was completed by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission in June of 2009. For consistency purposes, Phase I has set up the template for each of the following phases and therefore this plan closely mimics the structure and layout of the aforementioned.

The Camden County Improvement Authority has been contracted to develop this phase of the master plan. Funding for this phase has been provided in the form of a grant from the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions. Thirteen municipalities are participating in this planning effort. They are:

Audubon Borough Barrington Borough

Bellmawr Borough Brooklawn Borough Gloucester Township Haddon Township Haddon Heights Borough Haddonfield Borough Lawnside Borough Magnolia Mt. Ephraim Runnemede Tavistock

Purpose

The purpose of this plan is to expand upon the existing work that has been performed in Camden County for bicycle, pedestrian and non-motorized mobility planning. This study represents Phase II (two) of a multi-phase project that geographically divides the county into distinct regions, to allow for in-depth review of current resources and management practices utilized by municipalities within these regions. As a result of this plan, municipalities will have a usable document that will outline where the best places for trails and routes are to be located in each individual municipality as well as a document that will provide resources for best management practices, design standards, facility maintenance and bicycle parking.

The following are goals of this plan:

• Defining Connections – connections between Phase I and Phase II municipalities as well as creating new connections to be used as a community resource for non-motorized travel

• Defining Spaces – bringing awareness to the local points of interest and facilities accessible via the regional trail network.

• Providing Additional Recreation Opportunities – linking pedestrians and cyclists to recreation opportunities such as, hiking, fishing, sports fields and parks.

• Increasing safety for motorist, bicyclists and pedestrians – uniform signage and standards for trail design provide familiarity, consistency and reliability for all modes of travel.

Review of Existing Plans and Local Resources

In the development of this phase of the trail network several statewide, regional and local plans were reviewed to determine the extent and location of existing and planned facilities. Municipal and County representatives were consulted to ensure consistency with Open Space preservation and greenway development.

The following is the list of resources used to develop Phase II:

• Haddon Township Environmental Commission presented the Saddler’s woods trail system and trails along the gully parallel to Cuthbert Blvd and behind Roccino Field

• Camden County Open Space Preservation Advisory Council and Department of Environmental Affairs

• The New Jersey Bicycle and Pedestrian Resource Center assists public officials, transportation and health professionals, and the public in creating a safer and more accessible walking and bicycling environment through primary research, education, and dissemination of information about best practices in policy and design.

• The New Jersey Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, Phase 2 (NJDOT, 2004) created an inventory of existing bicycle facilities with a database of existing, proposed and potential bicycle and pedestrian facilities throughout the state. This Plan defines a list of priority locations for bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and provides opportunities for improving the bicycle or pedestrian compatibility of existing projects.

• Bicycle Facilities Inventory: Summary Report Southern New Jersey (Cross County Connections Transportation Management Association, 2008) expands upon the 2004 Burlington and Camden Counties bicycle Facility Report. This report inventories the existing and proposed bicycle facilities in southern New Jersey and identifies gaps in the network and prioritized proposed facilities’ that should be given priority for construction.

• Camden County Open Space and Farmland Preservation Plan (DVRPC, 2004) identifies County and municipal-owned preserved open space, farmland and state and federal wildlife preserves and designated areas. The plan includes the identification of several greenways of contiguous land in areas along rivers and streams where preservation is highly desirable and formed the basis of the connections made between multi-use trails and existing and proposed recreation areas.

• Central Camden County Bicycling and Multi-use Trails Master Plan (DVRPC, 2009), Phase I of the Camden County Bicycling and Multi-use Trails Master Plan, sets the ground work for Phase II, III, and IV by establishing the templates for facility design standards and maintenance as well as network signage and bicycle parking.

Study Area Overview

The thirteen contiguous municipalities in the study area are located in southwest Camden County and range in maturity from older inner ring to newer growing and emerging suburbs. The economic drivers of this area are the Black Horse and White Horse Pikes. Both roads boast a unique set of characteristics which have attracted local, regional, and national commerce, retailers, and industry. The overwhelming characteristic of the White Horse Pike is a downtown environment with a plethora of local and regional businesses, restaurants and neighborhood services. As for the Black Horse Pike, the road has several characteristics ranging from a highway commercial district in Audubon to a downtown neighborly district through Runnemede and Gloucester Township.

All municipalities, except Gloucester Township, are fully urbanized and future growth is dependent upon redevelopment. Gloucester Township has a downtown district in the Blackwood neighborhood along the Black Horse Pike. A variety of other land uses are depicted throughout the rest of the Township and several rural areas still persist.

The table below lists the participating municipalities, the estimated 2005 and 2010 populations, and the square mileage for each community.

In total, these municipalities have a combined population of just over 149,500 which represents 29% of the total population of Camden County. The average population of each municipality is 11,512 and is slightly skewed due to the large disparity in population size between Gloucester Township and the other participating municipalities. The estimated population of the study area suggests that a small amount of growth will occur, though most municipalities will lose population. Gloucester Township will experience the bulk of the growth. The study area comprises just over 42 square miles representing 19% of the total land mass of Camden County.

Journey-to-Work Data

Journey to work data is a set of data collected by the U.S. Census which captures travel statistics for workers 16 years old and up. Data is collected as means of travel or modes used to get to work. There are 18 means of travel captured in this data set. The table below groups these modes into generalized categories to illustrate the diversity of travel methods used to get to work by employees in the study area.

Modes Total Number Percentage of Total Car 57866 87.38 Public Transportation 5002 7.55 Bicycle 69 0.10 Walking 1406 2.12 Other 305 0.46 Work from Home 1574 2.38 Total 66222 100.0%

As depicted in the table above, the majority of workers drive alone or make use of a car pool as their primary means of getting to work. Only about 7.5% of workers use some type of public transportation, which includes buses, subways and commuter railways. The percentage of workers who walk or bike to work is 2.1% and 0.1% respectively.

Land Use

A variety of land uses are present among the thirteen municipalities in the study area. The map on the following page depicts these land uses geographically and the table below displays the amount of each use in total acres and square miles as well as a percentage of the total land in the study area.

Land Use Type Total Acres Total Sq. Mile % of Total Agriculture 639.18 1.00 1.75 Commercial 1364.87 2.13 3.75 Community Services 690.52 1.08 1.89 Manufacturing and Mining 478.28 0.75 1.31 Transportation 2519.58 3.94 6.91 Recreation 1387.10 2.17 3.80 Residential 16686.31 26.07 45.75 Utility 912.22 1.43 2.50 Vacant 998.48 1.56 2.74 Water 1043.92 1.63 2.86 Wooded 9751.02 15.24 26.74 Total 100.00

The top three land use categories are residential, wooded, and transportation. The most dominant land use is residential, representing over 45% of the study area. This number includes all types of residential dwellings i.e. single family, multi family, townhomes and condos, and senior units. Next is wooded land which accounts for 26 .74%. Third is transportation which includes just under 7% of the total land use. The nexus between these three types of land uses is not just how much of each are part of the study area but where they are located in proximity to each other and how each can be used to benefit the bicycle and multi-use trail network. The other land uses represent a marginal amount of land area. The map on the following page depicts land uses geographically.

Inventory of Existing and Proposed Facilities

The study area has a limited amount of existing bicycle and multi-use trail facilities and no roadways have dedicated bicycle lanes. One town, Barrington, has a series of, non-striped, bike routes and loops along local roads to promote health and exercise amongst residents. Other existing facilities are confined to County Parks and an off-road multi-use trail along an abandoned railroad right-of-way. Both of these facilities are separated from vehicular traffic and can be used by joggers, walkers, bicyclists and other recreational users.

Several County Parks are found within the study area. Each park has its own unique set of qualities and attractions. Along the northern boundary of the study area five parks are connected through a series of multi-use trails. These parks include: Cooper River, Penny Packer, Maria Barnaby, Hopkins Pond and Wallworth Park. Additionally, Timber Creek, Newton Lake and Haddon Lake Park are scattered through-out the study area. All of the parks can be accessed by local or count level roads and as such form the back bone of the proposed trails network. Parks can be easily accessed by pedestrians as well as bicyclists. Below is a table that details the resources available for each park.

Park Name Facility Length in miles Cooper River Multi-use 5.1 Haddon Lake Multi-use 4.8

Maria Barnaby Multi-use and walking trail 1.2

Newton Lake Multi- use 5.6 Timber Creek Multi-use 4 Total

20.7

Parks not listed in the table like Hopkins Pond, Laurel Ravine and Penny Packer are natural areas and are meant to not be disturbed. Viewing areas for these parks can be accessed by the trail network and through adjacent parks.

Among the proposed facilities there are three proposed trails along active or abandoned railroad right-of-ways and several on and off road multi-use and bicycle facilities which are detailed in the Community Profiles section. The remainder of this section focuses on the trails proposed along the railroad right-of-ways. These trails included the East Atlantic Bikeway, The Gloucester and Mt Ephraim Rail Trail and the West Jersey and Seashore Rail Trail.

The East Atlantic Bikeway is a proposed 9 mile paved multi-use trail along the CR 727 locally known as Atlantic Ave. The trail will use a portion of the existing railroad right-of-way along an active Conrail Line. The trail will start in Oaklyn and proceed through Audubon, Haddon Heights, Barrington, Magnolia, Somerdale, Hi-Nella, Stratford, Laurel Springs, and Clementon. The trail is proposed to terminate in the vicinity of the Clementon Lake Amusement Park.

12

The Gloucester and Mount Ephraim Rail Trail, of which only a portion through Gloucester Township has been constructed, is a cinder based trail along an abandoned railroad right-of-way. When fully constructed, this trail will extend for over five miles from the Kings Highway in Mount Ephraim to the Lakeland neighborhood of Gloucester Township.

The West Jersey and Seashore Rail Trail proposed to use an unfinished rail extension stretching from Westville to Haddonfield to construct a paved multi-use trail that is over 4 ½ miles long. The trail will run through Audubon and terminate along West End Ave in Haddonfield near the Haddonfield Haddon Township border.

The current proposed trail network for Phase II was developed with local input from the project team as well as analysis of the existing road network to make connections to local points of interest, County parks, local attractions and schools. In next section, Community Profile, details about attractions and other points of interest accessible from the trail network are provide by municipality.

Connecting to Greenways

Camden County has an Open Space and Farmland Preservation Plan. This plan outlines a series of “green ways” defines as a continuous set of open lands along stream corridors and tributaries, to be preserved as open space. Some of these greenways combine with the County Park system to provide an enhanced natural setting for additional enjoyment; others form a natural boundary around streams and increase the level of environmental protection to these waterways.

Five of the proposed greenways are located within the study area. They are the Big Timber, Little Timber, Newton Creek, North Branch and River to Bay greenways. A series of multi-use trails are proposed to transect several of these greenways to provide connections to attractions, on road bike facilities and limited access to these natural areas.

On Road Bike Facilities

While the off road trails will provide multiple – users with connections to several local attractions these facilities will additionally connect the user to a series on-road bicycle facilities. Two types of on road facilities are recommended in this plan. They are Recommended Routes and Roadways in Need of Retrofitting.

The Phase I plan defines Recommended Routes as, “roadways that, due to lower speeds and traffic volumes, are more suitable for bicycle use than other roads… These roads do not require bike lanes but would require consistent signage…” These roads are mainly local roads within the downtown area of each community and provide the user access to civic areas and local attractions.

Roadways in need of Retrofitting are defined as, “roadways with higher speeds and traffic volumes and the necessary cartway width to support ‘line delineated’ bike lanes. These roads are usually County Level roads and will connect users to other communities, places of work and recreation areas. (As this is

13

the first draft of the report all of these facilities have not yet been determined. The working group is expected to make suggests for such facilities. )
