110773 | Neshaminy Greenway Trail (Bucks County)

A critical gap exists in the Neshaminy Greenway Trail (NGT) network in Central Bucks County. The Core Creek Park to Woodbourne Road Trail segment of the NGT will fill this gap and connect Core Creek Park, the second most frequently visited park in the Bucks County park system, to over 250 houses in the immediate area; to two office parks, Luxembourg Corporate Center and Silver Lake Executive Campus, which houses the Newtown campus of Lasalle University (via an existing segment of the NGT along Woodbourne Road and Lower Silver Lake Road); and further the development of the NGT to connect Newtown Borough and segments of Newtown Township, to Core Creek Park. The NGT will also connect to the proposed Newtown Rail Trail that the county is currently planning to develop which will extend from Newtown Borough to County Line Road where it will connect to the Pennypack Trail before terminating at the Fox Chase train station in Philadelphia.
The project will also address a current safety issue at the southwest corner of the intersection of Ellis Road and Woodbourne Road where there is currently a gravel driveway leading to an unofficial fishing spot and boat launch that comes into the intersection at a 45 degree angle. While there is an existing traffic signal at this intersection, it is for vehicles traveling on Ellis Road and Woodbourne Road. The access point for this driveway will be relocated to Ellis Road as part of this project.
