The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission and the Pennsylvania Environmental Council are hosting a Regional Trail Network - Active Transportation Summit on June 23 at The HUB at the Cira Center, 2929 Arch Street in Philadelphia starting at 8:00 a.m.
The Active Transportation Summit will highlight and enhance the growing excitement around the region's expanding trail network. The Summit will feature national leaders in the Health and Economic Development fields, talking about the public health benefits of active transportation and the keys to growing our economy by growing our trails.
Local visionaries will provide updates on some of the most exciting trails, parks and bikeways in the nation, being built right here in our region; and about the region's growing Active Transportation movement. The Summit will conclude with an exclusive tour of the Manayunk Bridge, future site of a breathtaking multi-use trail segment ten stories over the Schuylkill River.
The goal of the Summit is to raise awareness about current trail projects, build excitement for future trail projects, and highlight how the entire community benefits from the creation of a regional trail system. Beyond that, the Summit will also provide a charrette-like format where you will be able to ADD your voice and your suggestions to the mix.
As many around the region already know, the establishment of the active transportation trail system is paramount in moving the Philadelphia region into the national spotlight for sustainable planning and promotion of healthy lifestyles.
