Approximately 80 people came to the Northwest Circuit Trails Open House at the Manayunk Brew Pub on Tuesday, September 25, to discuss upcoming trail projects coming to Northwest Philadelphia and close suburbs. There are numerous trail and canal projects underway in several NorthwestPhilly neighborhoods, Lower Merion and Whitemarsh Townships that will build out the Circuit over the next 3-6 years.
Fourteen different public agencies, trail “Friends of” groups, and one real estate developer brought poster boards describing their projects. They included: Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, Philadelphia City Planning Commission, Philadelphia Water Department, Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County Planning Commission, SEPTA, Office of Transportation & Infrastructure, Manayunk Development Corporation, Roxborough Conservancy, West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Friends of Cynwyd Heritage Trail, Friends of the Cresheim Trail, Friends of the Wissahickon, Schuylkill Environmental Education Center and Penn Real Estate Group.
