It's being called the Brandywine-Struble Greenway, and will span from the Delaware state line at Chadds Ford to an established "Mega-Greenway" 30 miles north in Pennyslvania. The Brandywine Conservancy is the private organization that is proposing the idea. Conveniently, most of the 30 miles of greenway wouldn't have to be built from scratch, since much of the Brandywine is already edged by informal paths. This idea seeks to connect and refine the various pathways and to accomplish this before increasing development makes this logistically impossible.
It makes sense to me. My honey and I have walked a lot of the banks of the Brandywine, both in North Wilmington and near the Brandywine River Museum, and wouldn't mind if some of the particularly pot-holed, muddy parts of the path were smoothed out a little. This greenway would also insure that, should some private land be sold to a proposed strip mall, the land can't be paved right up to the edge of the river. But if, for some reason, you're opposed to this idea and you live in southeastern PA, you can voice your opinion at the Chadds Ford Township Building tomorrow evening (4/14) at 7 p.m.
