Presentation on the Schuylkill River Trail Campaign in Swarthmore

The Bicycle Coalition, in conjunction with a coalition of organizations, has been working to raise public awareness about the need to fill in the gaps of the Schuylkill River Trail in the Greater Philadelphia region and extend the trail south to Delaware County.  Come learn more about the progress being made by organizations such as Pennsylvania Environmental Council, Schuylkill River Development Corporation, Schuylkill River Park Alliance, Manayunk Development Corporation and others to build the trail projects that will Complete The Trail at a presentation scheduled for Monday, February 15th at Swarthmore's Borough Hall.

The Schuylkill River Trail is an extremely popular and heavily used recreational asset and commuter route. It also has the potential to be much more: a connector between a variety of Philadelphia neighborhoods and suburban neighbors, the region's first green transportation corridor for multiple communities, a strong catalyst for economic development, and a critical access point to open space and commuting paths for underserved neighborhoods.

To be complete, the trail has critical gaps that need to be filled, and it needs to be extended southward, northward and into more neighborhoods.  There are nine trail projects that, if constructed, would complete Philadelphia's Schuylkill River Trail from Delaware County to Montgomery County.

 
On Monday, February 15th, Sarah Clark Stuart, the Bicycle Coalition's Campaign Director will present a slide show on this campaign at Swarthmore's Borough Hall.  It is a great way for anyone to learn about how the region's premier trail is getting closer to being a seamless, connected greenway. You will also learn how you can help send the message to elected officials about the public benefits of Completing the Schuylkill River Trail.
