BAYSHORE HERITAGE BYWAY CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING The Bayshore Heritage Byway is continuing with its corridor management planning phase and invites participation from all interested groups and individuals to attend and participate in advisory committee meetings.  They will be conducted the 3rd Thursday of the month through May. MARK YOUR CALENDAR The next CMC Meeting (#3) is scheduled for: Thursday, February 16, 1-3 pm Millville Library 210 Buck Street Millville, New Jersey, 08332 AGENDA At the third meeting, the CMC will work with the consultants (L/KLA and MT) to identify areas in need of physical improvement such as gateways to communities, trailheads along the byway, potential locations for waysides and pullouts, and potential corridor-wide or other community-based enhancement needs. Enhancements will include both physical improvements and the discussion of how the byway should address future development and growth, especially at the edges of existing towns and cities.  Committee members:  please bring ongoing or planned enhancement programs or projects that might benefit from linking up with the byway management plan so that we can include them in the plan REMINDER - input needed for "Institutional Survey" The institutional survey is in progress - a document that describes the exisitng plans and policies that are in place along the byway to guide land use and preserve or conserve the byway's intrinsic qualities. A snapshot of where the survey is as of January 19th is posted under the handouts for CMC Meeting #2.  It will be updated prior to AC Meeting #3 and should be reviewed prior to the meeting. UPDATE:  ROUTE MODIFICATION PROPOSAL Lower and Middle Township submitted their proposed modification to the NJDOT Scenic Byway Advisory Committee. The South Jersey Bayshore Coalition endorsed the route modification and forwarded that endorsement, with the application to NJDOT on January 21st.  Thank you to Norris Clark for his efforts on behalf of Lower and Middle Townships.  The application can be downloaded here (PDF 2mb) PROJECT OVERVIEW In 2009, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJ DOT) and the byway sponsor, the South Jersey Bayshore Coalition (SJBC), received a grant for the Bayshore Heritage Byway to proceed with the next step following designation as a state scenic byway: the development of a Corridor Management Plan (CMP). The purpose of the CMP is to help SJBC, NJ DOT, and Cape May, Cumberland and Salem Counties protect and promote the rich natural and cultural resources found throughout the byway corridor and provide strategies for sustainable tourism development based on that heritage. The purpose of this web page is to provide easy access to resources, presentations, meeting notes, draft and final reports utilized in the conduct of the study. Do you have a suggestion or idea?
