The
Delaware River City Corportation (DRCC) is managing the development of the East Coast Greenway in Northeast Philadelphia along the North Delaware Waterfront. They have just posted their latest newsletter which provides an update on the status of trail segments that are under development.
Port Richmond Trail
Thanks to some fairly cooperative winter weather work on the
Port Richmond Trail is moving along well.
If you get a chance to ride, run, walk or drive along Allegheny Avenue from Richmond Street to Delaware Avenue and then northbound on Delaware to Lewis Street (or vice versa), you can see what's happening!
DRCC been diligently working with the commercial property owners to insure that as little impact as possible is made on their businesses by aligning the street lanes to accommodate the traffic and hope that by Spring everyone will be able to see and soon enjoy the new trail.
K&T and Baxter Trails
The projects for the
K&T Trail through Wissinoming and Tacony move forward. We hope to be in construction by late summer on that portion of trail.
The
Baxter Trail section in Holmesburg, bordering Torresdale, is also a work in progress and will hopefully move to construction there by the fall.
If you have questions or would like any additional information, please don't hesitate to contact the DRCC at
