>A group of us attended a focus group discussion at the Springfield Twp 
>Municipal Bldg this evening in order to learn about the Greenway Plans and 
>to give our input about including bicycling in the plans.  The short 
>meeting was a big success.  It was hosted by Robert Kriebel and Philip 
>Hunsberger who are the consultants from Urban Research & Development 
>Corporation.  Our local host was Stephen Beckley, Environmental Senior 
>Planner with the DELCO Planning DEPT.  The meeting was attended by Justin 
>Dula, Emily Linn, Maura Williams, A bike officer from Haverford whose name 
>I did not get, Dom Zuppo, and myself.
>After a brief slide presentation about what Greenways were, we had the 
>opportunity to share our pros and cons about the region in question and the 
>concepts of "Complete the streets" and "Safe Routes to School".
>
>There will be a big completely public meeting next Tuesday nite at the same 
>place and time and I urge all you advocates who have done so in the past to 
>attend.  We must make a good showing in order to counter the negative and 
>doubting general public that is bound to show up.  This will be the second 
>time in 19 years a plan to develop a greenway in this watershed will be 
>proposed.  I think it has a better chance of success this time.  The last 
>time this plan was presented, the only advocates were the Darby Creek 
>Valley Assoc.  Now we have the bike riders to join in on the alliance.

>There will be reminders between now and then from me and Steven Beckley.
