Trails Committee

About the Committee

The East Brandywine Township Trails Committee was formed in 2015 to advise the Board of Supervisors regarding the development of trails throughout the Township.  While Committee is relatively new, the Township has actually encouraged the construction of trail networks inside new residential developments and has been planning for the inter-connectivity of these trail networks for many years.

East-West Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Plan

This East-West Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Plan builds on previous plans to evaluate the feasibility, develop a preferred alignment, and identify design features for the East-West Trail in East Brandywine, West Brandywine, and Uwchlan Township. The East-West Trail is envisioned to be a neighborhood connector trail that is used primarily by residents to walk, run, or bike for recreation and transportation purposes. The trail will connect residential communities to the Struble Trail (at the east end) and Hibernia County Park (at the west end) and various destinations in between. Today, there are some segments of the East-West Trail that are existing, some trail easements, and some locations where an off-road trail is not feasible or appropriate. This plan identifies next steps, priorities, phasing, and funding opportunities for implementation for the East-West Trail.
