Middlesex County’s new interactive map enables residents to explore sites and businesses along the Middlesex Greenway.
Stores, restaurants, bus stops and other features are accessible from a mobile device, as well as current weather, news and other updates about the Greenway.
“Many people use the Greenway for fun and exercise, without realizing the many opportunities for dining and shopping and other destinations that lie just off the path,” Freeholder Charles Kenny, chair of the county’s Infrastructure Management Committee, said in a prepared statement.
The Middlesex Greenway is a 3.5-mile portion of the former and historic Lehigh Valley rail corridor that has been converted into a new walk-bike trail that connects the communities of Metuchen, Edison and Woodbridge. The Greenway connects a diverse array of neighborhoods to area parks, schools and shopping, provides a route for alternative transportation and preserves an historic rail corridor.
“By investing in bikeways, walkways and alternate transportation modes like the Middlesex Greenway, we are expanding our recreation opportunities and offering more ways to have fun and stay healthy,” Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios said. “By adding technology like this new app and interactive map, we are able to expand those recreational opportunities to include local restaurants, businesses and other attractions.”
