Voorhees has worked hard to make our community walkable, drivable and bikeable. There are 16.6 miles of bike paths in our Township. We have more miles of bike path than any other municipality in Camden County. The Voorhees Township Bicycle and Pedestrian Pathway Committee promotes our bike paths and bike safety for the benefit of our community.
Existing bike paths in Voorhees include Centennial Blvd. from Old Egg Harbor Road to Evesham Road, Kresson Road from Centennial Blvd. to Route 73, Victor Blvd. from Cooper Road to Haddonfield-Berlin Road, Regency Drive to Dutchtown Road, Dutchtown Road through Lions Lake Park, Lucas Lane from Britton Place to White Horse Road, Laurel Oak Road from Haddonfield-Berlin Road connecting to Centennial Blvd. via the path in front of Eastern High School, Cooper Road from Centennial Blvd. to the Berlin Township border, Somerdale Road from Burnt Mill Road to Evesham Road and the entire length of Kirkwood/Gibbsboro Road.
Virtua has installed bike paths on its medical campus on Route 73 which connect to Dutchtown Road and Lions Lake Park.
More and more people are biking. Buses now have bike racks on the front and trains allow riders to bring bikes on board. The Voorhees Township Police Department has a bike patrol that tours the municipality when weather permits.
In a continued effort to improve roads and bike paths, the Township has applied for the following 2024 grants:
- NJDOT Municipal Aid – Repaving of roadway and bike lanes on Centennial Blvd from Cooper Road to Old Egg Harbor Road.
- NJDOT Safe Streets to Transit – Removal and replacement of failing sidewalk and installation of any missing sidewalk along White Horse Road in its entirety.
- NJDOT Bikeway Grant – Installation of bikeways throughout Maiaroto Recreation Complex connecting Blue Coat Court and Kirkbride Road to Echelon Road.
Voorhees is a member of the Cross County Connection, an organization working with the state to foster transportation alternatives. Visit their website at driveless.com to gain access to interactive bicycle maps throughout South Jersey. The website will allow you to put in your starting and ending addresses and give you bike path information for your journey. It also provides information about existing and proposed bike paths in the area.
A map of the Township bike paths is available at Town Hall or on our website at voorheesnj.com under the Maps link.
