Monroe Sidewalk Study

melvin|kernan prepared a pedestrian Circulation Study as a supplement to the Township Master Plan. This study coordinates our prior efforts from the Open Space Study and Environmental Resource Inventory into a comprehensive analysis of growth, connectivity and improvements. This study takes into account the fast development that has taken this rural agricultural township into a modern residential Gloucester County community. The study focuses on a varied palate of improvements that strive to make Monroe Township into a model providing alternate traffic calming elements and circulation paths. Among the many recommendations are grade separated bicycle paths and 12 foot-wide multi-purpose paths to connect this mostly rural township with multiple cores that encompasses approximately 47 square miles. The study surveyed all existing sidewalks and assigned them an existing condition value to determine the need for replacement. The condition inventory highlighted the need for connectivity of the disparate developments that had grown independent of one another.
