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).
