This Day in History: 1966-06-09
Walter Dale appealed to the Township Committee to build bicycle trails along local roads. There were 56,000,000 bicycles in the US and few places where they could be safely ridden, he pointed out. He suggested that bike trails be built along one side of new streets and sidewalks on the other. Mayor James Hackett supported the idea of bike trails and suggested Winter’s Park as a place to start. The Board decided to send a letter to the County Freeholders suggesting they build bike trails in the County parks. (Bristow)
