The walkway at Sunset Park in Harvey Cedars has been named “Judith E. Gerkens Path” following a recent ceremony honoring the longtime borough commissioner. Gerkens lost a re-election bid last fall after 33 years in office.

Borough Clerk Daina Dale said the borough had originally hoped to honor her in the spring, but the COVID-19 pandemic changed all that as public buildings and parks had to close. But with restrictions loosened after the summer, she said officials looked to honor her in the fall.
