Ocean City Vision: Creating Neighborhood Greenways
A low traffic volume and low traffic speed street where bicycles, pedestrians and neighbors are given priority
Providing safe connections and provide a more pleasant, family-friendly place to bicycle, walk and live. 


Queens Plaza Cycletrack - This is what our West Avenue (in the southend) could be!!
Portland Greenways - What the Haven Avenue Bike Boulevard aspires to be! 


The Haven Avenue Bike Boulevard, opened in the Spring of 2008 from 9th St to 34th St. This is phase I of Ocean City's overall bike routes plan to connect the community and create a "greenway".
The Haven Avenue Bike Boulevard is a "Share The Road" facility. Automobiles have access, but are being discouraged by the addition of traffic calming measures; reduced speed limit to 15MPH, 4-way stops at all intersections, the use of the "Sharrow", and additional signage. 
Recreational bicyclists (families) now have the first designated bike route in Ocean City to enjoy a leasurely ride.
As the routes develop in town, including the expansion of the Haven Ave Route and connector routes to the downtown, boardwalk etc; this "network" will provide safer bike transportation opportunities. 
Coming Soon:  The Haven Avenue Bike Route Southend from 49th to 56th St! This second leg will provide another safe north/south Share The Road facility around the Ocean City Homes neighborhood.      

Ride the Haven Ave Bike Boulevard! You're gonna love it!
