On the Schuylkill River Trail
October 30, 2010
MCPC staff joined host Chris Leswing, Director of Lower Merion Township’s Building and Planning Department, and nearly 100 trail enthusiasts on the 3 Bridges Trail Walk. The event celebrated the tremendous work done over the past 10 years by Lower Merion Township, the City of Philadelphia and numerous advocates and organizations to transform former railroad bridges into bike and pedestrian crossings over the Schuylkill River. With the Manayunk and Pencoyd bridges now open, only one connection remains to be completed. Participants got a sneak preview of the proposed connection between the Schuylkill River Trail and the Cynwyd Heritage Trail via the Towpath Bridge.

The Fairmount Water Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was the first municipal waterworks in the United States. Designed in 1812 by Frederick Graff and built between 1819 and 1822 it operated until 1909, winning praise for its design and becoming a popular tourist attraction. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and is once again in the process of winning back visitors, having now opened an Interpretive Center to aid in understanding the waterworks' purpose and history.
