Council Votes Yes To Schuylkill River Trail Right Of Way

On Thursday City Council unanimously approved the signing of a 25 Year Lease with PECO Energy to use the Right of Way for a new section of the Schuylkill River Trail between Port Royal Ave and the old Shawmont Train Station.

The improvement which will move the Schuylkill River Trail off Nixon St is part of the TIGER funding program and is expected to go under construction in 2011. Additionally the existing Schuylkill River Trail on the west side of Port Royal Ave will be repaved and widened to the Montgomery County line .
