Park boulevard and central avenue pedestrian & bicyclist safety improvements, west cape may borough, cape may county-preliminary engineering

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) $599,762.45 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 26, 2025, to fund preliminary engineering services for pedestrian and bicyclist safety improvements along Park Boulevard and Central Avenue (County Route 626, Mile Post 0.91 to Leaming Avenue) in West Cape May Borough, Cape May County. The project is classified as a Local Transportation Alternative Program initiative and is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2028.

This formula grant supports the planning and design phase necessary to advance pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure safety enhancements in the designated corridor. Preliminary engineering deliverables typically include feasibility studies, design plans, environmental compliance documentation, traffic analyses, and project specifications required to prepare the location for subsequent construction phases. As part of the Highway Planning and Construction program's broader mandate to improve multimodal transportation networks and enhance safety, this award enables NJDOT to develop evidence-based solutions that will improve accessibility and safety for vulnerable road users in West Cape May Borough.
