Chester Valley Trail

    • Chester Valley Trail

When it is completed the Chester Valley Trail will be the "backbone" through some of Chester County's busiest communities. Nearby parks and local trails will be able to join a regional network of open space.

Throughout Chester County and southeastern Pennsylvania, public trails enhance regional recreational opportunities.

In the Downingtown area, the Struble Trail winds north along the east branch of the Brandywine Creek from Kardon Park toward Marsh Creek State Park.  In northernChester County, the Horseshoe Trail stretches from Valley Forge to Harrisburg, passing through Warwick County Park. The Schuylkill River Trail, which begins in Philadelphia, is envisioned to travel as far north as Pottsville, Schuylkill County. Montgomery County's Chester Valley Trail extension will begin at the Schuylkill Expressway and continue into Upper Merion Township, through Bridgeport and into Norristown where it will connect to the Schuylkill River Trail.

The Chester Valley Trail will be a valuable contribution to the region, serving as a backbone providing critical links to nearby parks and local trails in this dynamic regional network.

    • Manayunk Tow Path Ribbon Cutting Feb. 23 features VIPs
    • Feb 21 9AM
    • Kudos to Philly's Park and Recreation Department (PPR) for doing a bang up job repairing and improving the Manayunk Tow Path. It was done in record time (a mere several months!) and PPR accomplished a lot with its funding from PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR).
      In addition to the much improved extension of the trail at Shawmont that enables you to avoid much of the cobblestone at the curve, PPR resurfaced the existing gravel path with new stone screenings, constructed new asphalt pavement leading up to four existing wood bridges, and repaired the existing wood railing, posts and planks on said bridges.

      This week, PPR and DCNR are holding a ribbon cutting. This is your chance to meet the Secretary of DCNR and Mayor Nutter.
      What: Mayor Nutter cuts the ribbon on the new Manayunk Canal Tow Path
      When: February 23 at 11:30 am
      Where: Lock Street entrance off Main Street

    • An Update On The Slow-Moving Trainwrecks That Are The Federal Transportation Bills
    • Feb 17 1:22PM
    • We have urged you, our membership and readership, to contact your Congressmen the past few weeks and urge them not to gut biking and walking funding from federal transportation bills. Thank you if you made a phone call or sent a letter. Here is an update on the status of transportation legislation in Washington DC.
      You can stop reading now if you want. This sums it up.
      The Senate (cows on the tracks)
      On the Senate side, Sen. Barbara Boxer is pessimistic about her two-year bill called Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP 21) after the bill was attacked by a swarm of unrelated amendments.
      The House (the train was 8 hour late, ended up in the wrong city, all the passengers got motion sickness, and then the train fell into a river)
      Although we didn't succeed in putting biking and walking back into the House Bill, our opposition to the bill has found some unlikely bedfellows. Not only do biking and walking proponents oppose the House bill, so does the Tea Party, Club for Growth, and several Chicagoland Republican Congressmen.
