Navy Yard Spur

The Master Plan for the Schuylkill Banks trail and greenway was finalized in March 2003 with plans for the trail terminating at Fort Mifflin, a National Historic Landmark situated at the confluence of the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers.  SRDC proposes to study a potential spur off of the main Schuylkill Banks trail that would connect to the Navy Yard and FDR Park. It is about three miles from the western end of the Passyunk Avenue Bridge to the 26th Street entrance to the Navy Yard.  This would not only offer important recreational and educational destinations to the trail user, but could serve as an important commuting option for employees. It is expected that much of this route would follow existing roadways, but off road trails could be investigated. The City would most likely be the primary project sponsor with support from SRDC.
