  • Trails, Parks & Open Space
    Delaware River Urban Waters Federal Partnership – Resource Paper Series (7/7/14) Trails, Parks & Open Space Overview The Greater Philadelphia / Lower Delaware River Urban Waters region is fortunate to have a variety of opportunities to create a connected network of multi-use trails, including both right-of-ways (ROWs) from the area's long history as a hub of railroad activity, and greenway corridors that follow the region's creek and park systems. Some of these opportunities have been capitalized upon – a number of significant trail segments already exist or are moving toward construction – but gaps still exist. Some Trail Systems “The Circuit” is a vision of a 750-mile interconnected network of multi-use trails announced in May 2012. A coalition of foundations, governments, non-profits, economic development professionals, and numerous other groups are working together to realize this vision for the Greater Philadelphia Region (including Philadelphia, Delaware, and Chester counties in Pennsylvania, and Camden and Burlington counties in New Jersey). To date, 250+ miles have been built. (http://connectthecircuit.org) The East Coast Greenway is a long-distance, urban, shared-use trail system that will ultimately link 25 major cities along the eastern seaboard from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida. In Pennsylvania, the East Coast Greenway enters Morrisville from Trenton, NJ and follows PA Bike Route E for much of its 55-mile route, passing through lower Bucks County, Philadelphia, and Delaware County. Crossing into Delaware near Marcus Hook, the trail then travels 38 miles through the state, including 19 miles of completed trail. (www.greenway.org) The Northern Delaware Greenway Trail spans 9 miles of northern New Castle County from Fox Point State Park on the Delaware River to the Brandywine Creek and the City of Wilmington.

  • The East Coast Greenway Alliance: a Model for Grassroots Greenway Initiatives
    The East Coast Greenway Alliance: A Model for Grassroots Greenway Initiatives Highlights of ECGA Progress Rhode Island and Massachusetts Ann Chapman 104 Shays Street Amherst, MA 01002 1 1. Introduction The U.S. greenway movement in the U.S. is a relatively recent phenomenon. Although historically, Frederick Law Olmsted and others created projects as early as the 1860s which we would today term “greenways”, the term itself wasn’t used until the 1950s. The contemporary U.S. greenway movement was given important encouragement when the 1987 President'’ Commission on Americans Outdoors publicly endorsed the concept. At that time, there was virtually no professional literature on the subject. However, an author’s query by Charles E.Little, placed in a variety of professional journals asking for information on active greenway projects resulted in over one hundred responses. Based on these responses, Little wrote a book, published in 1990, entitled Greenways for America, which was the first major book published on the topic (Little, 1990). Since that time, several other books and numerous articles have been published on various aspects of greenways. These include aspects of the planning design, and management of greenways in the U.S. and abroad. A good summary of the greenway movement here and abroad may be found in Greenways: The Beginning of an International Movement (Fabos and Ahern in 1996 ). An important element in understanding the diverse array of projects in the burgeoning greenways movement can be gained by categorizing them. As defined by Fabos (in Fabos and Ahern 1996 p. 5), the majority of greenways fall into three major categories: 1) ecologically significant corridors and natural systems (e.g.

  • F. Vehicular Traffic
    Chapter 9: Transportation (Vehicular Traffic) F. VEHICULAR TRAFFIC EXISTING CONDITIONS STREET AND ROADWAY NETWORK Traffic conditions in the study area vary in relation to a number of factors—the nature of the street and roadway network, surrounding land uses and the presence of major traffic generators, and the intensity of interaction between autos, taxis, trucks, buses, deliveries, and pedestrians. The study area contains five subareas, or zones—Lower Manhattan, the Lower East Side, East Midtown, the Upper East Side, and East Harlem—and each has different street and roadway characteristics along its length. East Midtown, the Upper East Side, and East Harlem are characterized by a regular street grid, with avenues running north-south and streets running east- west. Each of the major north-south avenues—First, Second, Third, Lexington, Park, Madison, and Fifth Avenues—are major traffic carriers. There is just one limited-access roadway, the FDR Drive, which extends around the eastern edge of the study area from its northern end to its southern end. A general overview of the character of the street and roadway network in each of the five zones is presented below. Lower Manhattan is characterized by an irregular grid pattern south of Canal Street. Except for a few major arterials, most streets within the area are narrow with usually just one "moving" lane. Travel is time-consuming and slow along them. Pedestrian traffic often overflows into the street space, further impeding vehicular traffic flow. Water Street and Broadway are the two key north-south streets in this area, and carry two or more effective travel lanes, yet are often difficult to negotiate due to frequent double-parked truck traffic.
