This interim trail is exactly that and it doesn't even come close to modern multi-use path standards. In a few places it is somewhat difficult to navigate with hazards such as belgian block driveways, narrow pinch points and RR tracks. A recreational bicyclist with children in a trailer would probably not have a steller time here. Still it is physically separated from the high speed and unyielding traffic on Columbus Blvd and I appreciated the break during rush hour. To the credit of the planners the adjacent bike lanes are not affected. So you still can get to Ikea in a hurry.

The thought of schlepping over the Ben Franklin Bridge in the rain to get home was unappealling but then I saw a queue for concert express ferry service to the Susquehanna Bank Center (Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction) The express (6 minute) ferry service every 15 to 30 minutes is a rare treat that actually makes the ferry a real travel option to Camden. I can use the return ticket of the round trip anytime.
