Around the Region

NJ Transit has listened to a plea from Monmouth County NJ, and put on hold plans to tear down four bridges and a pedestrian tunnel along a proposed "rail trail" on an abandoned railroad bed between Matawan and Freehold. The county would like to make a 12-mile "rail trail," paralleling Route 79, for pedestrians and bicyclists along the rail bed, and would like the right-of-way to be given to the county. In Matawan, the proposed trail would connect with the existing county-owned Henry Hudson rail trail that runs 10 miles from Matawan to Atlantic Highlands. Asbury Park Press
