Project Profile

Downtown Traffic Calming Improvements, Margate City

The City of Margate received funding through the Safe Streets to Transit program to extend the sidewalk on Ventnor Avenue into Washington Avenue to restrict vehicles from attempting to make a left turn onto Washington Avenue. This project provided a significant benefit to the residents and visitors of Margate City as it yields a safe vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle circulation and provides an aesthetically pleasing experience. The traffic calming improvements also provided safety for pedestrians who use the NJ Transit bus stops at the intersection of Ventnor and Washington Avenues.
