This report identifies several recommendations to promote walking as a means of travel and improve the pedestrian experience along a section of Central Avenue in the Borough of Seaside Heights. Recommendations were informed by a Walkable Community Workshop, a collaborative effort with municipal employees and community stakeholders. This report calls for adopting a Complete Streets policy or ordinance, implementing a road diet, providing and maintaining high-quality pedestrian infrastructure, adding lighting, and addressing deficiencies in signage and striping.
The plan also highlights the possibility of completely reimagining the corridor by constructing a new central green. Implementing the recommendations will require detailed engineering study, funding, and the support of local, county, and state officials.
