What is the process for designating a scenic byway?
These are the steps: • A sponsor group is created. • The sponsor meets with the State Scenic Byway Coordinator to review general procedures. • The sponsor organizes a corridor committee. • The sponsor identifies the byway route. • The sponsor develops a byway theme. • The sponsor completes each section of the NJ Scenic Byway Nomination form package that includes general information, maps, narrative, jurisdiction and approval, visual interpretation. • The sponsor submits the nomination package to the State Scenic Byways Advisory Committee. • The Committee reviews the nomination package and makes their recommendation to the Commissioner of NJDOT. • The Commissioner approves or disapproves the nomination.
