This past September 30, the Chester County Planning Commission hosted a public transportation meeting, titled “Bicycles, Pedestrians & Transit,” which was a follow up to the “Trails, Trains, and Traffic” meeting held last December.
During this year’s meeting, the Planning Commission presented the results of the county’s Active Transportation Inventory, as well as transportation updates and other important projects happening around the county. All three County Commissioners’ attended the meeting, as well as 72 others, which took place via Zoom on a Wednesday evening.
West Chester is isolated via bicycle paths from the rest of Chester County and sorely needs access especially when we have great road beds from abandoned rail lines. In particular the former WC & P line from Frazer to Media through West Chester as a combined rail and bike route could make this a very desirable route.
I am interested in participating in this development.
No.1 There is no bicycle path linking West Chester to other points in Chester County. The abandoned WC &P Rail Line from Frazer to Media through West Chester would provide excellent access to western Chester County on a topographically friendly network via rail and bicycle path. I would be interested in participating in the development of this inevitable venture.
