Monday, September 20th is the Grand Opening of the new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over Route 724 in Union Township, along the Schuylkill River Trail.
Please join fellow Rotarian, Peggy Whittaker to celebrate the opening of the Richard P Whittaker, MD Memorial Bridge with a Ribbon Cutting at 11:00am.
The bridge is located on Route 724 in Douglassville, but you must access the trail to get to the bridge.
A group will be riding bikes from Pottstown to the ribbon cutting, leaving at 10:00am. We will travel together at a relaxed pace so no worries about being left behind. It is about 7 miles each way, flat, hard packed gravel.
Bill Brogley has offered to provide some pre-ride snacks at his office prior to ride departure. His office is located at 18 S Charlotte St Pottstown, PA 19464. Parking is free in the municipal lot across the street. If you plan to ride with us, please email me so we know to expect you. I can also be reached at 215-740-5206, call or text.
Rotarians who are not riding are welcome to park at Fork and Ale 1281 E Main St, Douglassville, PA 19518. From Fork and Ale, it’s about a 3/4 mile walk to the bridge. A golf cart shuttle will be available from 10:00am-10:40am for those that need it. If you need to take the shuttle, it is first come, first served so leave some extra time.
There will be light refreshments available back at Fork and Ale after the ribbon cutting.
Contact me with any questions or concerns!
Yours in Rotary
