When the Borough of Barnegat Light introduced a
summer parking ban on Central Avenue, concerns arose about access to the beach.
BLTA suggested providing bicycle racks at the busiest beach streets to
encourage cycling as an alternative to driving. Working with Councilwoman
Dottie Reynolds, BLTA helped identify the best locations, and 20 racks were
installed.
The project was a success: the parking ban caused no chaos, pedestrian and
cyclist safety improved, and the racks remain a helpful option for residents and
visitors who prefer to bike to the beach.
