Ivy Ridge Trail Public Workshop on Monday in Manayunk

You know about the Cynwyd Heritage Trail in Lower Merion Township; right? And how the much-anticipated trail on top of the Manayunk Bridge will extend that trail over the Schuylkill River? Well, the Ivy Ridge Trail is the third piece of that trail, extending a wide, paved route to the Ivy Ridge Station. 

Trail enthusiasts and interested neighbors can learn more about the Ivy Ridge Trail's design and timeframe at a public workshop on Monday. Another piece of The Circuit coming into focus!

The Wissahickon Gateway is one of the most critical gaps in the Schuylkill River Trail.  Bicycle riders have been waiting for years to learn how the City will approach closing this gap.

Please attend this public meeting on Thursday, November 1st at 6:30pm to learn about the preliminary engineering study that the City's Parks and Recreation Department has conducted over the past 18 months.

How will the trail cross the Wissahickon Creek? How will it weave through SEPTA and PECO's properties on Ridge Avenue?  Will it follow the river's edge or the sidewalk on Ridge Ave and Main Street?  All of these issues have been considered and will be presented on.

Wissahickon Gateway Public Meeting, Thursday, Nov. 1st at 6:30pm, Gustine Rec. Center at 4700 Ridge Avenue.

CORRECTION: THE TIME OF THE MEETING IS 6:30-8:30PM
