Lena Nguyen bio:
Hi, my name is Lena Nguyen and I'm a Mays Landing resident. I graduated from Oakcrest in 2018 and now attend the University of Virginia as a third-year civil engineering student. My personal interest is in transportation and sustainability.  I started working with the Green Team during the Summer of 2020. I was excited to hear that Susan Lazarchick, Chair for Hamilton Township, NJ., was open to doing a bicycling and pedestrian audit for Sustainable Jersey accountability.  I've been working with Cross Country Connection (CCC), to create a survey that would collect demographic data, attitudes, and opinions regarding bicycling and walking in town.  The audit captured what other residents' opinions are about where the audit should take place.  The survey was based on one that CCC had successfully shared with Haddonfield residents.   Please watch the Video Presentation which breaks down the information reported and gathered from the survey and other information.
