Bikes & Peds Deserve Space on Scudder Falls Bridge 

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission remains uncommitted to the inclusion of a walkway on the new I-95 Scudder Falls bridge over the Delaware River, even though the number one request from the public has been the inclusion of the pathway. The Commission is taking public comments on its "Environmental Assessment" until February 4, 2009.  Make your voice heard that the new bridge design must include a bike/ped pathway!.
