58th Street Greenway Opens

The highly anticipated 58th Street Greenway opened last Saturday after three years of planning and more than a year of construction and ongoing community involvement.  The 1.5-mile, 43.5 million trail provides a link between the Cobbs Creek Trail, Bartram's Garden and the trails beyond Southwest Philadelphia.

The greenway is a Pennsylvania Environmental Council project and is one more piece o both The Circuit and the East Coast Greenway trail network puzzles.  The Circuit aims to build and connect 750 bicycle trail miles throughout the Philadelphia region, and the East Coast Greenway is an endeavor to build a continuous 3,000-mile bicycle trail from Maine to Key West Florida.
