You can get from the Manasquan train station to the Manasquan Reservoir (5 mile bike path) via the capital to coast trail. On the way back, if you want to change things up, you can take Belmar Boulevard to the Belmar beach and ride on the beach back to Manasquan or another shore train station

PATH weekend and late night service is pathetic. I get that work has to be done, especially on NWK-WTC, but they are clearly using that as an excuse now to shaft the weekend riders. At the bare minimum, they need to separate the 33rd Street lines during the day on weekends. Those trains are downright dangerous. Also, my understanding is that the majority of the NWK-WTC work is between NWK and JSQ. If this is the case, I don't see why they can't run a JSQ-WTC train on 20 minute headways to complement the 20 minute headways on NWK-WTC (i.e. WTC bound trains would leave JSQ every 10 minutes, with every other one originating at JSQ)

There are also a bunch of small service decreases that took place during COVID and never were brought back. They increased the 33rd line Saturday headways from 10 minutes to 12 minutes, changed overnight from 35 minutes to 40 minute headways, and got rid of the 3 minute rush hour headways on NWK-WTC. Really awful stuff.

The overnight NJ bound Holland Tunnel closure has been all over the news recently. You would think that PA would think to supplement overnight PATH service since they are the ones closing the tunnel. Nope!

Eh I’ve never seen it too jammed outside of the summer months TBH, which is when every highway around the shore is jammed. If they really wanted to upgrade the highway, they would extend the eastern section (138) to Interstate standards all the way to the highway’s end in Belmar. The lights on 138 are annoying and jam up traffic

This was the original design in 2016 and all the local merchants flooded the council meeting and had them scale it back to what it is now. According to them, double parking is a way of life in Hoboken. Kind of ridiculous when you realize that Hoboken has to have one of the highest walkability ratings in the country

Love this map. Shore region should be every part of the coast that maintains a solid full time population (so basically everything not on a barrier island, i.e. Sandy Hook to Bay Head). Bay Head is the border of Shore and South. Also makes sense because the Coast Line ends in Bay Head, which has direct NYC service.
