TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to the East Coast Greenway!The East Coast Greenway is a trail network linking scores of local greenways into a unified, 3000-mile route from Canada to Key West. It spans 15 states and the District of Columbia and connects communities between Maine and Florida. The East Coast Greenway aims to accommodate walkers, cyclists, skaters, skiers, wheelchair users, and equestrians. This urban version of the legendary Appalachian Trail will provide safe, traffic-free transportation, recreation, exercise and tourism opportunities to the 45 million Americans who live near it as well as domestic and international visitors to the region. Over 29% of the route (as of summer 2013) is off-road in the form of over 175 individual trail segments and more segments are coming on-line each year. The remainder of the route is currently on carefully selected, safer roadways.
Our ultimate goal is for the East Coast Greenway to be completely off-road so it is safe and accessible for people of all ages and abilities to use. East Coast Greenway progress fosters low-cost transport, healthy lifestyles, and a thriving natural environment. The East Coast Greenway Alliance ® (ECGA), based in Durham, North Carolina, spearheads the project in partnership with organizations and agencies at the local, state and national levels. Together, we are creating an American treasure! Dennis Markatos David ReadExecutive Director Chairman, Board of Trustees
The East Coast Greenway in Pennsylvania
The East Coast Greenway stretches for 55 miles across Pennsylvania,passing through the City of Philadelphia and connecting urban, ruraland suburban communities in Bucks, Philadelphia and DelawareCounties.
Forty percent of the route through Pennsylvania is currently on trail, andanother 20% is in development. Our Pennsylvania Committee, an active and inclusive group Co-Chaired by Chris Linn and Andy Hamilton, is working to complete the long term vision of an entirely off road East Coast Greenway. In five years, Pennsylvania may be among the states with the greatest percentage of safe trail routing.
Open trails include portions of the Delaware Canal Towpath, BristolSpur Line Trail, Cobbs Creek, Kensington and Tacony Rail Trail, Penn Treaty Trail, Sugar House Casino Trail, Schuylkill Banks, John Heinz Wildlife Preserve, the 58th Street Connector, and the Schuylkill River Trail. Work to close the few gaps in the otherwise complete Delaware Canal Towpath is significantly funded and underway. Eighty percent of the current route is on road for now, mostly along well-marked state Bike Route E. Proposed traffic-separated routing includes a historic center city Philadelphia route currently being studied, the Northern Delaware River Greenway being developed in Philadelphia, the Botanic and Tinicum-Ft. Mifflin Trails and Cobbs Creek Trail extension south of the city.
This guide allows users to easily follow the current ECG travel routethrough Pennsylvania. Along with the maps are turn by turn directions for both north and south bound travel. The maps display both the current travel route and any locations where the long-termoff-road route diverges.
The following organizations are working to plan, design, and construct the Greenway:
• Pennsylvania Environmental Council • Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources• Schuylkill River Development Corporation / Schuylkill Banks• City of Philadelphia• Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission• Pennsylvania Department of Transportation• Delaware River City Corporation: www.drcc-phila.org• Delaware County Planning Commission• Clean Air Council• John Heinz Wildlife Refuge• Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor• Bucks County• Delaware River Waterfront Corporation• Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Contact the PA Committee at [email protected] to learn more.
The East Coast Greenway in Delaware
Forty-three miles of the East Coast Greenway pass throughDelaware, between Pennsylvania and Maryland. The trail inDelaware is entirely within New Castle County and passes throughthe cities of Wilmington, New Castle, and Newark and connects the suburban areas in between.
Delaware has made great strides in completing the long term visionof a completely off road East Coast Greenway, having completed53% of the route off-road to date. Trails that make up the Delawaresegment of the East Coast Greenway include portions of theNorthern Delaware Greenway Trail, the Christina Riverwalk, NewCastle Riverfront Trail, Industrial Track Trail, Route 4, Route 72, Churchmans Road and Library Avenue side paths, and the James F. Hall Trail.
The remaining on-road sections have route signs. State and localagencies are collaborating with the ECG Committee to develop newtrails. Planned trails will include the New Castle Rail Trail with a bike/pedestrian bridge across the Christina River; and a trail through the Peterson Wildlife Refuge with links to the ChristinaRiverwalk to connect the City of Wilmington to historic New Castle Industrial Track Greenway and Penn Farm Trail.
This guide permits users to easily follow the current ECG travel route through Delaware. Along with the maps are turn by turn directions for both north and south bound travel. The maps display both the current travel route and any locations where the long-term off-road route diverges.
If you want to support efforts to complete the ECG in Delaware,contact Delaware East Coast Greenway Committee, Chairwoman,Bobbi Britton, at [email protected].
These partners organizations are working to advance planning, design, construction and use of the Greenway:
• Wilmington Area Planning Council (WILMAPCO) • Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), Division of Parks & Recreation• Department of Transportation• Department of Special Services, Parks Information • Delaware Greenways, Inc.• City of Wilmington• City of New Castle• City of Newark

About this guide
The East Coast Greenway Alliance (ECGA) has published this guidewith financial support from the William Penn Foundation.
Route Conditions
Although every attempt has been made to select paths androadway segments that can provide quality walking and bicyclingexperiences, some route segments may have adverse conditions.Here are a few examples of adverse conditions: Deterioratingpavement, narrow shoulders, and high speed traffic.
The goal of the ECG is to be entirely off-road and open to all non-motorized users, but much of the route is still on-road and conditions are not appropriate for all users. Some on-road portions are suitable only for experienced cyclists, and some off-road segments are unpaved and less comfortable on road bikes.
The route conditions listed were effective at this printing. Newly resurfaced roadways and new developments may lead to increased traffic.
Route Navigation
The East Coast Greenway Alliance is placing wayfinding signagealong the route to help travelers. Look for the blue and green ECG signs. In Pennsylvania the on-road route is also well signed by Bicycle Route E signs. In Delaware the route has been fully signed.
Over time, routing will change as more off-road trails are built. Check the maps and cue sheets on greenway.org for updates.

Safety Tips
Be aware of traffic patternsPlan trips to avoid peak traffic hours.
Obey the rules of the roadA bicyclist has the same rights and responsibilities as a motor vehicle driver. Cyclists must: Keep right. Ride with traffic, not against it. Obey all traffic signs and signals.
Use signalsShow your intention clearly before turning and changing lanes.
Always wear your helmetIn Pennsylvania, bicyclists under 12 years old must wear an approved helmet. In Delaware, those under 18 must wear a helmet.
Share the road/trailBe aware of and respect the rights and safety of other roadand trail users.
Don’t travel aloneThe ECG is an urban trail system; travel in groups whenever possibleand be aware of your surroundings.
Public Transportation
Using buses or trains to access the Greenway can simplify your trip by eliminating the need to double back to your start point. Public transportation may also be useful during bad weather or in difficult situations. It also allows you to reduce your carbon footprint by leaving your car at home.
Many locations along the ECG in Pennsylvania and Delaware are easily accessible by transit. As with the majority of the ECG, the route generally follows Amtrak’s Northeast corridor. There are also numerous SEPTA train and bus routes and DART bus routes that intersect the Greenway (all SEPTA and DART bus routes have bike racks on the buses). See the maps and directions for details. For public transit schedules, fares, and bicycle access information, visit:
Amtrak: amtrak.com, or call 800-USA-RAILDART: dartfirststate.com, or call 800-652-DARTSEPTA: septa.org, or call 215-580-7800
