About the project:
In Lower Merion Township, GVF conducted a study to identify "pinch points" in the existing Mainline Greenway. The intersection of Montgomery and Woodbine Avenues was identified as a critical area for improved safety. GVF worked with Lower Merion to restripe the crosswalk.
The Lower Merion Township Board of Commissioners officially adopted the eastern part of the Main Line Greenway (MLG) as a Township bicycle Route. The eastern part of the MLG extends from Manayunk Bridge to Haverford College through Bala Cynwyd, Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood North Ardmore, and South Ardmore. The Commissioners allocated funds for 2024 to design and install wayfinding signage. Planning staff is working with local civic associations, institutions, and Haverford Township to extend the MLG to Penn Wynne and from Haverford College to Villanova.
