The Lawrence-Hopewell Trail will be a 20-mile loop from, well, Lawrence to Hopewell and should be completed by 2012.

It now links to the East Coast Greenway at  the Brearley House (Section 1) via the Great Meadow Trail and the D&R Canal Towpath.

Construction of safe bicycle/pedestrian crossings at the intersection of Pennington-Rocky Hill Road and Bailey Drive in Hopewell Township to accommodate another part of the trail.

Earth Day Challenge

Tuesday, April 20 by silvia

This challenge comes courtesy of Bike & Walk Montclair and is endorsed by the WWBPA:

“This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day and Bike&Walk Montclair challenges you to go CAR FREE FOR A DAY.

Motor vehicle emissions from short car trips (distances easily walked to cycled) are much more polluting than longer trips on a per-mile basis because 60% of polluting emissions is released during the first few minutes of vehicle operation.

On Thursday, April 22, 2010, make a commitment to reduce your carbon footprint by walking, biking and taking public transportation.”

What will you do to mark Earth Day? Let us know! And watch for the WWBPA’s annual National Bike Month challenge in May.

Tonight’s Annual Meeting Cancelled

Thursday, February 25 by JerryFoster

Skiing

Mercer County Park XC Skiing

We regret to have to cancel tonight’s meeting, but weather and safety concerns prevail.  The new annual meeting date will be announced in the near future.  In the meantime, please send us an email with any questions or concerns, and enjoy the snow!

We are working to reschedule with Andy Clarke, our keynote speaker, who leads the League of American Bicyclists, the oldest organized bicycling organization in the country.  The League was founded as the League of American Wheelmen in 1880. Bicyclists, known then as “wheelmen”, were challenged by rutted roads of gravel and dirt and faced antagonism from horsemen, wagon drivers, and pedestrians.

The agenda this year will also feature an optional interactive session, where WWBPA Trustees will collect your ideas for making West Windsor more a more bicycle and pedestrian friendly community.

Stay tuned – we hope everyone will be able to make the new date!
