Election Day in Gloucester County, and what's on the ballot
Election Day is next Tuesday, Nov 3, with polls open from 6am to 8pm. The county's election notice says in-person early voting started Oct 24 and runs through this Sunday, Nov 1. On the ballot are U.S. Senate and House seats, plus county commissioner and local races that vary by town. The county's sample ballots don't show any public questions this year, so the whole thing is offices. Short ballot, same 6am start. Gloucester County sample ballots · Election notice (PDF)

Last call to comment on the Dinosaur Trail route
Gloucester County is planning the Dinosaur Trail, a walking and biking path from the shared-use path on Carpenter Street in Glassboro, through Pitman, to Mantua Boulevard and Edelman Fossil Park. At a Sept 29 public meeting, planners recommended a hybrid route that's mostly off-road and skips the Route 55 option. It also goes around Alcyon Park instead of through it. The Woodbury Warbler reports that some neighbors on Howard and South Cummings avenues still have privacy and safety worries about the trail behind their homes. It's still at the concept stage, with no construction date or cost set, and online comments close this Friday, Oct 30 at 11:59pm. Comment survey · Woodbury Warbler · Mantua Township
