| Jersey Shore, PA Celebrates Smart Transportation At 10000 Friends, we have made a significant effort over the past few years toward the developing and advocating for the Pennsylvania Community Transportation Initiative (PCTI). Now, we are beginning to see the fruits of our labors as communities around Pennsylvania receive funding to begin work on these important smart transportation projects. One project to experience early activity is the extension of the Pine Creek Rail Trail through the borough of Jersey Shore to connect with the Susquehanna River and its growing trail system. At a ribbon-cutting event attended by 250 cyclists participating in the 2009 Greenway Sojourn, officials from state and local government affirmed the positive economic impact that this project will have. Jersey Shore has been positioning itself as a hub for outdoor recreational activity and the gateway to the Pennsylvania Wilds. The extension of this trail will assist Jersey Shore in cementing that position and attracting additional visitors. DCNR Secretary John Quigley spoke at an event in Jersey Shore on the night before the ribbon cutting. In his speech, he laid out the importance of recreational facilities such as the rail-trail for community and economic development as he pleaded with the audience to advocate for continued funding for these important projects. |
