Bikers, joggers and walkers along the Schuylkill River Trail will soon have a wider and safer path to use on Kelly Drive in East Falls.

Mayor Michael Nutter along with other City officials and community groups gathered at a parking lot on Kelly Drive on Monday morning to celebrate the official groundbreaking of a portion of the trail.

The $1.1 million Parks and Recreation project includes the removal of the existing sidewalk on Kelly Drive between Ridge Avenue and Falls Bridge as well as the construction of an eight to 10 foot wide recreation path which will be rerouted behind a brand new parking lot.
