A public-information session on the proposed route and preliminary design of the Delaware River Heritage Trail will be held tomorrow night in Bordentown City.

 

The session will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Carslake Community Center on Crosswicks Street in Bordentown City.

 

The trail is a proposed 50-mile loop that would en

able hikers and bicyclists to see the Delaware River from both the New Jersey and Pennsylvania sides.

 

The 25-mile section of the trail in New Jersey would run from Palmyra to Trenton, cutting through Beverly, Bordentown City, Bordentown Township, Burlington City, Burlington Township, Cinnaminson, Delanco, Delran, Edgewater Park, Fieldsboro, Florence, Mansfield, Riverside and Riverton.

The trail is the brainchild of the National Park Service, but the county Board of Freeholders is driving its development through the 15 Burlington County communities.

The freeholders hosted similar information sessions in 2002 during an earlier stage of the trail's development, prompting protests in Riverton over the proposed alignment and the possibility that public restrooms would be built along the route.

 

County officials will review the current status of the trail's development during tomorrow's session. Information to be presented includes the various off- and on-road alignments and the proposed trail facilities. County officials and other members of the trail's project team will answer questions from the public.

 

A second information session is scheduled for Nov. 17 at the Delran Municipal Building on Chester Avenue.
