The trail mentioned has been expanded. On May 23rd, the Haven Avenue Bike Route was dedicated. This route runs from 9th Street (RT 52) to 34th Street. Most is a "share the road" route, although there are sections of "separated bike lanes" as well. One section - from 25th to 29th St - runs along the Stainton Wildlife Refuge offering water views with Osprey, swan, ducks, and alot of other birds and wildlife.
Traffic calming efforts were implemented to reduce auto use, and every intersection is now a 4 way stop.
The city has additional "phases" planned to extend this route and offer connections to the beach, boardwalk, downtown, etc. The timing of this is awesome, as the new Rt 52 Causeway bridge comes right to 9th & Haven, and will have a 12 foot dedicated bike lane which connects to the Atlantic County bike path on the other side of the bridge. So, when complete there will be a contiguous path from Mays Landing to Ocean City!
