Schuylkill River Trail gets $12M grant for Christian-to-Crescent section
March 7, 2018
A $12 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation will help fund an addition to the Schuylkill River Trail that will connect Center City to Southwest Philadelphia.
The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant, more commonly known as a TIGER grant, will go toward connecting the existing trail’s southern end at Christian Street with the Grays Ferry Crescent, which now sits disconnected from the rest of the trail, Sens. Bob Casey (D., Pa.) and Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) announced. The expansion will bring the trail closer to an eventual connection with Bartram’s Garden.
