Atlantic County Bikeway West Advanced Feasibility Study

SJTPO is working with Atlantic County and Consultants to evaluate further the feasibility of a 22-mile trail connecting the Camden County Link Trail to the Atlantic County Bikeway East. This project would expand Southern New Jersey’s trail network by creating a safe, continuous, off-road multi-use trail for residents and visitors.

At this stage, staff are seeking public input to help inform key elements of the proposed multi-use trail, including trailhead locations and amenities, connection points, and existing barriers.

In an effort to reach more residents, an online survey has been published, and will remain open through September 18, 2026.

New Jersey is taking another step toward a more sustainable future. Starting Aug. 1, the state’s new “Skip the Stuff” bill (S3195) will go into effect, changing how restaurants provide disposable utensils and condiments.

Members of the Hamilton SustainabiliTEAM attended the Hometown Celebration in Memorial Park on June 27th to bring awareness to the new state “Skip the Stuff” law. Beginning in August, restaurants and other eateries with take-out food will not automatically give out plastic utensils and packaged condiments. These items will be available upon request. This is a great way to eliminate unnecessary trash and waste!
