New Section of Trolley Line Trail Open!
The newest section of the Trolley Line Trail is now officially open. This new section starts at
Rabbit Hill Road, near Cranbury Road, and follows the PSE&G power lines into Community Park. The paved macadam path crosses Bear Brook, by way of a beautiful single span bridge, offering great views of the brook and Grovers Mill Pond in the distance. The path was surfaced on Thursday, but was already being used a lot by local pedestrians and cyclists.
Please be careful where the trail comes out on Rabbit Hill Road. The road is not yet striped to warn motorists about cyclists and pedestrians, and cars tend to speed on this section of the road. There is not much of a shoulder where the path comes out on the road, but further down the road there is a decent shoulder which is slated to be converted to bikelanes in 2007-2008. There is a sidewalk, but it is not yet connected to the path. Please be careful, but enjoy!

Path and bridge looks nice.
I am wondering whether the yellow post in the middle of the entrance to the Bear Brook bridge is designed to keep off bike trailers (those trailers for carrying 1-2 toddlers)? It sure looks like it will and I'm not sure what else it would keep off
I do think the new bridge looks nice but the yellow concrete pole its hard to ignore. The real reason I think they put that in there was to separate Traffic going both ways, just like how Mercer County Community Park's bike trails have white lines separating both lanes. The pole is defiantly better in my opinion than spray painting that beautiful bridge, but might be a safety hazard to some bikers. Just a thought
