Route description

History

This is not the first route designated as CR 14.

Westwood Avenue in Long Branch was taken over by the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders as a county highway on January 10, 1900; [Resolution, Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, January 10, 1900] in the 1937 renumbering of Monmouth County highways, it became part of CR 14, along with Brighton, Cedar and Norwood Avenues. In 1953, Brighton Avenue was renumbered as CR 37; Cedar and Norwood Avenues were assigned the number 25. Westwood Avenue remained as CR 14.

When Ocean Boulevard was taken over as County Route 57 on May 14, 1987 an exchange took place where County Route 14 and County Route 37 were decommissioned. [Resolution, Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, May 14, 1987]

West Park Avenue was taken over as a county highway on April 22, 2004. [Resolution No. 04-323, Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, April 22, 2004] It was then assigned the number 14.
