The Williamsport Sun-Gazette reports on a plan to connect several local towns on a walking and biking trail.

"This project evaluates the community from a standpoint of pedestrian and bicycle safety," Brian Auman, landscape architect for the community resource center said.

Auman said SEDA-COG has analyzed the entire city, focusing on major points of interest or destinations such as parks, schools, churches, post offices, libraries and the farmer's market to take into consideration where people live and how to safely connect them to these locations.

The big picture view is to ultimately connect the west end of Jersey Shore and give people access to a pathway that would take them from Wellsboro on a single trail to the city, according to Auman.
