Neighborhood Walk (Glenside)
Details
Enjoy a casual walk around the neighborhood while getting to know the many places we have and how local groups are working to improve them. Each walk is a loop that takes 30-60 minutes at a modest pace and includes a place to get a treat. We will meet as a group, walk, observe the local urbanism, and discuss what we see.
Meet at Glenside Train Station outside Elcy's Cafe. 1 W Glenside Ave, Glenside, PA 19038. Paid parking available in SEPTA lot, free parking available on side streets. 22 Bus stops are nearby.
Route: Meet at Elcy's (optionally: grab a treat before we start walking). We will walk south on Easton to Royal to Bickley to Waverly to Keswick to Mt Carmel to Easton. Total distance 1.6 miles, "36 minutes" - includes a steep hill, but walkers that don't want to walk the hill can turn on Toxony or Waverly for a shorter route with no hill, then meet up with the group on Bickley. (This shorter route will be taken in inclement weather.)
Local places of interest: Elcy's Cafe, Easton business corridor, Glenside Library, zoning variety, the road design of Easton Rd, Arcadia University
We walk in all weather. The event may be cancelled or postponed if the weather is dangerous (icy, severe storms, heat warning, etc.) but otherwise we walk rain or shine. Weather is part of being a pedestrian! Please dress appropriately for the weather. We may be out in the sun or otherwise exposed to puddles, wind, etc.
