WESTVILLE NJ (August 25, 2026)– Over the weekend Sweetie and I took our walk along the Big Timber Creek in Westville. You can see the Philadelphia skyline in the distance, along with the large cranes at Holt’s Marine Terminal, and the Walt Whitman bridge. Hard to believe the summer is nearing an end. It went by so fast. Back to School is getting closer, and once that passes fall is just around the corner.  If you have any photos you would like to share with our readers please send them to wecleary@gmail.com…(CNBNews photo).

E-Scooters and E-Bikes Turn Public Spaces into Hazard Zones

Electric scooters and electric bikes have flooded into Gloucester City and surrounding towns, and the results are becoming harder to ignore. What began as a convenient way to get around has quickly turned into a safety problem for anyone who uses our sidewalks, jogging paths, or neighborhood streets responsibly.

The danger isn’t theoretical. On my daily walks with Sweetie, I’ve had kids on these motorized bikes come up behind us without a sound. These machines make no noise, so you can’t hear them approaching until they’re already on top of you. More than once, a rider has blown past us at high speed, leaving no time to react.
