This feasibility study examines the opportunities and challenges of constructing over 44 miles of trails and on-road bicycle facilities that make up the Greater Pottstown Trails network. This network includes four trails that are shared between nine municipalities in Chester County, Montgomery County, and Berks County: the Coventry Trail, the Pottsgrove Trail, the Manatawny Trail, and the West Trail, which is split into the Lower West Trail and the Upper West Trail. The primary intent of this study is to create and analyze a network of bicycle infrastructure that adults of medium-to-high cycling skill can comfortably use. This network will connect cyclists within the Greater Pottstown region and to other trails networks in the region. This study also pursues the creation of bicycle and multi-use trail facilities that enable people of all abilities to travel on bicycle, on foot, and in some cases on horse.Geographic Area Covered: Douglass Township in Berks County, Pennsylvania; East Coventry Township and North Coventry Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania; and Douglass Township, Lower Pottsgrove Township, New Hanover Township, Pottstown Borough, Upper Pottsgrove Township, and West Pottsgrove Township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania
