We asked for the advancement of earmarks for the Philadelphia Bike Plan and the completion of the Schuylkill River Trail between Manayunk and East Falls. Rep. Andrews called the Delaware River Port Authority CEO James Mathuessen on the phone asking for (and getting) a meeting with the Bicycle Coalition. In Delaware we asked for a bike/ped bridge over the Delaware Canal and a joint letter for better bicycle and pedestrian accommodations on Route 1 at the beach.
