Bike Expo Seminar Preview: U Push, We Pull: Completing the Schuylkill River Trail in Philadelphia

We're hosting a seminar series at the Philly Bike Expo, happening October 29th-30th. Every seminar will take place in Griffin Hall at the First Unitarian Church (2125 Chestnut St). Here is a preview of one of our seminars:

U Push, We Pull: Completing the Schuylkill River Trail in Philadelphia

Saturday, Oct 29th
1:00 - 2:00 pm

Panelists:
Joe Syrnick (Schuylkill River Development Corporation)
Kay Sykora (Schuylkill Project)
Rob Armstrong (Philadelphia Parks and Recreation)
Sarah Clark Stuart (Bicycle Coalition)

This panel conversation will examine the current effort to complete the Schuylkill River Trail in Philadelphia, one of the gems of our region's developing multi-use trail network. Which segments are going to be built and when? What is on the drawing boards but still needs funding? Hear from some of the key individuals behind building the new Boardwalk between Locust and South Street, the incredible Manayunk Bridge, and the Shawmont to Port Royal Avenue segment.  This seminar is a must-attend for anyone interested in using one of the most heavily-trafficked bicycling infrastructure assets in the Northeast.
