Coalition for Philadelphia’s Riverfronts (CPR), a city-wide campaign advocating for a greenway on the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers. The campaign will be launching on October 6 at 5:00 p.m. on the Schuylkill River adjacent to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and I would love if you were able to be there for it.
The campaign launch will focus on how the greenway will help create a more economically robust city; the ways the greenway supports Greenworks and the goal of making Philadelphia the greenest city in America; and what an amenity a greenway is, and how a continuous, connected greenway along both rivers will benefit the citizens of Philadelphia. For those who wish to stay after the official launch and want to get out and have some fun, there will be discounted kayaking available.

Philadelphia is on its way to becoming a great riverfront city full of cultural, economic and environmental potential. You can be part of this exciting growth by joining the Coalition for Philadelphia’s Riverfronts (CPR).
CPR will work to create a scenic walking, biking, skating and blading trail that is connected to the city and follows the edges of the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers.
Please join us on October 6 at 5:00 p.m. next to the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the Schuylkill River. We’ll talk about how the new greenway will help the city’s economy, the ways it will support Greenworks’ goal to make Philadelphia the greenest city in America and how a continuous, connected trail along our rivers will benefit everyone who lives in or visits Philadelphia.
And there’s more! Thanks to help from the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC), Hidden River Outfitters will offer discounted kayaking after the event so you can get out and enjoy the river. For more information please contact Rachel Vassar at 215-545-9691 or vassar@pennfuture.org.
