Vegetation of Ridley Creek State Park Abstract Ridley Creek State Park is a suburban park in a landscape that has a long history of human use. Most of the natural vegetation was removed by the mid to late 1800s. In the past 300 years the landscape has gone from forest to farmland to private estate to heavily used public park. Today the park is a mosaic of forest remnants, scattered wetlands, successional communities, meadows, and landscaped grounds. Relatively intact natural communities cover 37 percent of the area. Non-native, invasive plants dominate many of the successional areas. These thickets of invasive shrubs and vines interfere with natural patterns of succession and represent inferior habitat for birds and other wildlife. An overabundance of white-tailed deer compounds the ecological degradation of the park landscape. Deer feed preferentially on native vegetation leaving most non-natives to proliferate. The browsing severity in the park is such that even plants such as spicebush and beech shoots are reduced to well- chewed remnants.

  • Appendix a REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE and INFLUENCES
    Appendix A REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE AND INFLUENCES Introduction Many factors beyond the borders of East Goshen Township can have significant impacts on planning, growth, and resources. Employment centers, recreational facilities,commercial uses, major transportation corridors, and planning policies of surrounding municipalities are all examples of potential regional influences. This appendix highlights the various relationships that East Goshen Township shares with its neighboring communities as well as the regionally important services, facilities, and growth trends. Geographic Setting East Goshen Township is approximately 10 square miles in size and is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, in southeastern Chester County (see Map A-1 ). Philadelphia is located about 25 miles east and Wilmington, Delaware is located 20 miles south of East Goshen. West Chester Borough is located southwest of the Township and serves as a local urban center for the surrounding municipalities in the West Chester Region. Sharing the western boundary is West Goshen Township, which is a highly developed suburban municipality with significant industrial development south and east of West Chester Borough and the areas surrounding the Brandywine Airport. To the north and northwest, East and West Whiteland Townships are rapidly growing municipalities with a mix of suburban-scale development along the corridors of Routes 30 and 100 and the major transportation facilitiesof Route 202. To the northeast, Willistown Township retains a significant rural landscape south of Paoli Pike, but has a more suburban development pattern north of Paoli Pike, in the areas surrounding Malvern Borough, and the areas in the southwestern corner of the township adjacent to Route 3 (West Chester Pike). Westtown Township to the south has a high concentration of suburban development along with commercial uses along Route 202 and in the northeast comer along Route 3.

This document describes the service proposals suggested by the general public, government agencies, elected officials and Authority staff, and presents the technical and financial analyses that determine whether the proposals merit implementation. The Plan includes projects for City Transit and Suburban Transit. There are no proposals for Regional Rail. This year marks the 19th Annual Service Plan and its associated planning process. This and the previous efforts reflect SEPTA’s ongoing commitment to improve the performance and productivity of transit routes and regional rail lines through careful measurement of both ridership changes and operating cost based upon a numeric scoring methodology. This method, fully described for each proposal, includes measures for revenues, operating costs, and impacts to existing riders. Additionally, each proposal must meet minimum performance standards, adopted by the SEPTA Board, prior to review within the service plan process.
