Parkway to be closed The Intelligencer The Sunday in the Park recreation program will close Tookany Creek Parkway to motor vehicles on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 12 to Oct. 10 between Central Avenue and Jenkintown Road for the use of bikers, in-line skaters, joggers and walkers. Tookany Creek Parkway is close to SEPTA's Cheltenham Station on the R8 line. Although this is not an incredibly long stretch of road 3/4 mile, this is a great precedent for other communities to close off "park roads" on Sundays and get aunt Sadie on the bike. I would be interested to hear if there are other candidates out there. The main criteria being that no one lives on that road or works and it is not a main commuter road (Which would rule out North Park Drive in Cherry Hill or Lincoln Drive in the Wissahickon). ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "bike."
