The project seeks to connect three Burlington County Park properties - Pennington Park, Willingboro Lakes Park, and Rainbow Meadow Park, which was formerly Laurel Run Park, to adjacent neighborhoods and the regional Circuit Trails network.  

​

The Rancocas Creek is a navigable freshwater tributary for the Delaware River.  It is tidal, with 6 feet of change between tides. Within the project area, its narrowest width ranges between 425 to 525 feet.  Where present, tidal mud flats extend several hundred feet beyond the main channel. 

 

Route 130 is an urban principal arterial with six through lanes, high traffic volumes, and a posted speed of 50 miles per hour. The study area contains multiple ramps and two major intersections, one being Route 130 at Bridgeboro Road and the other at Beverly Road where no sidewalks, crosswalks, or ADA-compliant curb ramps exist. 

 

The absence of pedestrian and bicycle facilities diminishes driver awareness of non-motorized users, creating hazardous conditions.
