County Route 5 is a county road in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, situated entirely in Neptune City, where it is known as Steiner Avenue.
[edit] History
Monmouth County assumed jurisdiction over Steiner Avenue and Atkins Avenue on May 11, 1898. At that time, county jurisdiction ran from Shark River Road (now Sylvania Avenue) north to Summerfield Avenue in Asbury Park, a distance of 1.7 miles. By 1929 it was numbered as CR 35. (The 1929 numbering was wholly unrelated to the system in use today.) In the 1937 renumbering, this road was assigned to the County Route 17 system of roads. At that time, the CR 5 designation was assigned to another route. When the 500-series routes were established in 1952 and the former CR 5 was superseded by CR 520, the number 5 was reassigned to Steiner and Atkins Avenues.
Sometime after 1953, Atkins Avenue within the City of Asbury Park was released back to the city. Recently, the portion of Atkins Avenue in Neptune Township was released to the township, although it is still signed as CR 5.[2]
