Waldorf Avenue

East Camden, New Jersey

Waldorf Avenue

Waldorf Avenue is in East Camden, running south from 285 Burwood Avenue to Marlton Avenue, one block west of Highland Avenue. There were only fifteen homes on Waldorf Avenue when the 1947 City Directory was compiled. A number of duplexes and rowhomes were built not long afterwards.

Indignation or a Keen Sense of Humor

Camden Courier-Post

Sign reading 'These road conditions were caused by an act of God. Somebody ought to tell the city of Camden that he don't intend to fix them' — 2900 Block of Waldorf Avenue, 1954 Waldorf Avenue road conditions article — Camden Courier-Post, August 30, 1954

INDIGNATION OR A KEEN SENSE OF HUMOR on the part of an East Camden resident resulted in this sign suddenly appearing in the center of Waldorf ave., between Marlton pike and Beacon ave. recently. The street is partially paved and partially gravel. The latter is pockmarked with holes, causing a dust condition in dry weather and mud holes after rain.

Miniature River Proves Problem on Waldorf Ave.

Miniature River Proves Problem On Waldorf Ave. — Camden Courier-Post, June 24, 1948 Miniature River Proves Problem On Waldorf Ave. (text) — Camden Courier-Post, June 24, 1948 Miniature River Proves Problem On Waldorf Ave. (continued) — Camden Courier-Post, June 24, 1948

Director of Public Works Abbott has run into many knotty problems on street conditions caused by the recent rainy weather but he has been able to solve most of them.

However, he has run up against a stumbling block in East Camden where rain water has been running down Fountain avenue and forming huge pools in front of the homes of several residents on Waldorf avenue.

A large part of the water has formed a miniature river in front of the home of Mrs. Walter Laird, 3126 Waldorf avenue. Abbott has promised Mrs. Laird and the other residents he will remedy the condition within the next few days.

“The problem is a perplexing one because Fountain avenue, from which the water runs, is an unimproved street,” Abbott said. “We had little or no trouble until we oil-treated Waldorf avenue at the request of the residents there.

“Before we improved Waldorf avenue, we had no trouble because the water seeped through the surface. We had planned placing an outlet at the intersection of Fountain avenue and Waldorf but we found that if we did, the gravel from Fountain avenue would be constantly filling it and this would endanger our main sewers.

“I have ordered the highway crew to make a study of the problem and take whatever means necessary to correct the condition.”
