From Philly and the Pa. suburbs to South Jersey and Delaware, what would you like WHYY News to cover? A regional transportation planning board has approved at least $300 million in federal, state and local funding to expand pedestrian and bike trails in the Philadelphia region. Part of the investment from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission will support the Circuit Trail network, which aims to connect more than 850 miles of trails in the Philadelphia region by 2040. The projects include the Spring Garden Connector, a proposed $58 million 2.1-mile multiuse urban corridor, linking the Schuylkill River Trail and the Delaware River Trail. The connector will start at the intersection of Christopher Columbus Boulevard and Spring Garden Street, stretch across Spring Garden Street, and end at the intersection of Eakins Oval in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
