The Delaware River Greenway Partnership, that supports natural and cultural resources along the Delaware River, has won a grant from AARP to conduct a cycling survey of NJ 29 to determine what measures could be taken to improve cycling safety on that road. This organization has solicited the assistance of the Princeton Free Wheelers to help them gather data on cycling conditions on that roadway.
They have developed an online survey in Google Docs which they are asking cyclists to complete which will provide them with information for their survey which will be ongoing through the end of August. If you find yourself riding on Route 29 between Stockton and Frenchtown, please complete the survey. Although the survey parses the distance between these towns into three sections feel free to complete any or all the sections you can.
The survey and its instructions follow.
