Lower Gwynedd is assembling a strategic plan for pedestrian access across the Township. The goal is to create a document that will guide decisions related to sidewalk and trail implementation in future land developments. To integrate the plan into Township operations, it will become part of the standard review process for land development applications. Over time, the strategic plan will also support grant applications for pedestrian amenities.
The draft plan is summarized in the map below: it includes priority routes for future pedestrian accessways, existing mid-block pedestrian crossings to be evaluated for improvements, and locations to consider for future crossings. The map also contains several “community nodes” (schools, parks, commercial corridors, etc.), which are used to highlight popular destinations for pedestrians.
The plan has already received feedback at public meetings held by the Planning Commission, Parks & Recreation Board, Environmental Advisory Council, and the Board of Supervisors. The draft plan is available for additional public comment until the Board of Supervisors meeting on June 24th, 2025, which begins at 7 PM. Feedback may be sent to contactus@lowergwynedd.org. During the meeting, the public will also have the opportunity to provide input in-person.
