Belvidere, NJ
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2022
Project Category: Roadway/sidewalks/crosswalk improvement
Description: Older adults in Belvidere faced safety concerns on Oxford Street, a busy corridor with no dedicated bike space. The town launched "Bikeable Belvidere," adding a bike lane, sharrows, benches and bike racks to calm traffic and create safe routes for riders and walkers. A ribbon-cutting drew strong community support and sparked plans for a town-wide bike grid. The project also hosted volunteer events and installed ADA-compliant benches, encouraging outdoor activity and social engagement for residents with limited green space.
