Description

What if there was a way to bike from Maine to Florida on a car-free trail!? The East Coast Greenway is aiming to create such an option for all of us spanning over 3,000 miles.

On this Mappy Hour LIVE, the Mid-Atlantic Coordinator Daniel Paschall will join us to speak on:

• What is the Greenway and what are the big picture goals?
• How does this trail get built? What local processes take place to connect sections?
• A few ideas for where to go by bike for our NYC, DC and PHL members

We'll wrap up with Q&A and details about joining the Mappy Hour team for the 2021 NYC to Philly bike tour!
