SIMONSEN CALLS FOR CHANGES TO SEASHORE RD.

Lower Township Third Ward Councilman Erik Simonsen is calling for changes to Seashore Road to make bicycling safer from the bridge over the Cape May Canal south to the Masonic Lodge. Simonsen said the road experiences heavy bike traffic during summer months, often entire families riding on their two-wheelers. Along with making the road a no-passing zone, Simonsen said he would like to see a reduction in the 40 miles-per-hour speed limit. The road is owned by the county which would require their cooperation. Seashore Road’s bike lanes are clearly marked, he said.
