Readington Township, New Jersey, participated in the 2024–2025 North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) Complete Streets Technical Assistance (CSTA) Program. This report identifies several recommendations to promote walking and bicycling as a means of travel and improve the pedestrian experience along a section of Main Street (County Route 523) in the White House Station neighborhood.
This report calls for: providing and maintaining high-quality pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure; creating a consistent streetscape design; adding lighting and pedestrian amenities; and addressing deficiencies in signage and striping.
The recommendations in this report were developed through a Walkable Community Workshop that was held on August 12, 2024, which was a collaborative effort with municipal employees and Township stakeholders.
Readington Township covers more than 48 square miles, making it the largest township in the county. It is loosely settled, with a mixture of suburban developments and rural open space. The White House Station neighborhood is a village center at the northern end of the Township, centered on Main Street and the NJ TRANSIT White House Station (Figure 2). The close destinations and small town feel make it suitable for walking and bicycling. However, the same roadway is also a primary connection to US Route 22, which means it sees moderate traffic volumes that negatively impact the safety and comfort of non-motorists.
The lessons learned by all participants during the workshop can be applied to other roadways in Readington. The field audit form and a list of potential funding resources can be found in this report’s appendices. These resources can be used to conduct other walk audits within the Township.
