Benefits of family bicycling and the possibility of a future BMX racing facility in the Township of West Milford were discussed at the Feb. 15 meeting of the West Milford Economic Development Committee (EDC).
There was stress during a presentation by EDC member Jeffrey Mergler that bicycles only and no motorized vehicles are considered in the proposal. At the meeting with Mergler were Dave Van Wart from Team Town Cycle, West Milford, and Art Peterson from BMX and JORBA. They explained the benefits of family bicycling and the possibility of BMX racing in Northern New Jersey and its benefits.
