Bristol ECG - River Road Trail

 

Bristol Township – with the help of the Heritage Conservancy, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the East Coast Greenway Alliance, and consultant Michael Baker International – is working to develop a safe, family-friendly public trail for walking, biking, and rolling along River Road from Cedar Avenue to just past the Wawa near Old Route 13.

• East Coast Greenway Impact
• Shan & Joshuaine’s long Distance run/ride of the entire ECG (Shan & Josh ran/rode through Bristol along what will become the River Road Trail on June 9^th)

The River Road Trail is first and foremost YOUR trail. There is an engineering and design study going on right now that will give you, your friends, and your family plenty of opportunities to help turn the trail into exactly what you’d like it to be. Stay tuned for a public survey, an opportunity to Walk the Trail Before it’s There, public meetings at local community centers, and the River Road Trail table at upcoming community events. What’s even cooler: the River Road Trail will eventually connect into the 165-mile D&L Canal Towpath Trail in Bristol Borough – which you can ride up to Easton and beyond to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre – and will be a part of the ~3,000 mile East Coast Greenway, which goes all the way from Florida to Maine! Don’t miss your chance to shape Bristol Township’s very own River Road Trail!
