Talk:Schuylkill River Trail

message: The recent headwaters-toward-confluence overhaul by Krimpet was a good idea.
Here is a minor thing that I should look at more later. Multi-use trail currently redirects to Segregated cycle facilities, which (upon scanning) seems to be all about bicycling and not about walking, jogging, hiking, rollerblading, and other trail uses. (I lack time to read it line-by-line at the moment.) I may reinsert the line here about all the things "multi-use" entails (not just bicycling). But for now I really need to stop indulging my WP habit and get back to work! Lumbercutter 14:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah I figured it would be good to go west-east, following the standard of highway articles and also providing more opportunity for expansion as the remainder of the segments are completed. You made a good point about multi-use trail redirecting to segregated cycle facilities; I edited the redirect to point to Trail#Multi-use trails, which while sparse right now gives a better description of the multi-use nature and could be expanded.

message: I just added the following: "On many maps and street atlases, and on some of the trail's signage, the segment between Philadelphia and Valley Forge is still identified by the name Philadelphia–Valley Forge Trail." This is notable. I know that some editors are going to want to delete this because it's an outdated name. But it's important to realize that people who are unfamiliar with the trail and the area (which is a big reason for reading this article in the first place) are going to see the name "Philadelphia–Valley Forge Trail" on maps and even on some of the trail's signage itself, and it's a good idea to clarify for them that yes, it's the same trail. — Lumbercutter 17:10, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems reasonable.  But you forgot to dot the i and create this redirect Philadelphia–Valley Forge Trail, which is SOP when an article covers a topic with multiple names.--J Clear 18:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. Thanks. — Lumbercutter 22:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

text: While it's notable, and I can personally confirm that I've seen this name is in use, it's important to find a reliable source that confirms this. Krimpet (talk) 22:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. Done. Thanks. — Lumbercutter 23:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Trail nomenclature variations

message: Several otherwise good sources are claiming the SRT has a US Department of Interior National Recreation Trail designation.  However a search of the NRT database shows only the small portion of the trail in Schuylkill Banks is so designated.  On the other hand, the Schuylkill River Water Trail is listed as a NRT for the the whole river.  --J Clear (talk) 12:23, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  National Recreation Trail designation 

message: On many maps, such as Google, the West River Drive trail is marked "Schuylkill River Trail" and the Kelly Drive is marked "Schuylkill River Trail - Valley Forge to Philadelphia," so is the trail on both sides of the river, joining together at the east end of the West River Drive Bridge?  I am asking, since bridges show what they cross over, and perhaps I should be showing both for several bridges over the Schuylkill in Fairmount Park. 
See this Google Map, which shows trails on both sides of the river.--DThomsen8 (talk) 00:01, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi.  I just approved this article and found it does not really fit exactly with this article.  Perhaps Schuylkill River Trail  should become a project so that it is cohesive in content and style?  :- ) DCS 19:53, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

message: What are the other trails in the image? The area that I am most familiar with on that map doesn't have a trail - there is no trail along Baltimore Ave - unless you count a crappy painted-on lane, and there is nothing from Baltimore Ave. along Cobbs Creek, so the map is inaccurate, and I suspect that there are many other errors, so I'm removing it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.4.243.218 (talk) 22:06, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
