Lower Merion commissioners recently approved the preliminary concept for the Main Line Greenway. The greenway is defined as a network of designated roadways shared between cars and bicyclists and often used with multi-use trails. Jillian Dierks, senior planner with Lower Merion, said the township’s 2006 comprehensive plan included a recommendation to increase bicycle mobility using the township’s existing network of low-volume roadways. “The goal was really to establish connectivity to various township networks, not unlike our pedestrian plan,” Dierks said. “We were looking at residential areas, schools, parks [and] commercial districts.”
