Passaic County wants your feedback about possible Morris Canal Greenway

There will be a meeting in each one of the towns that the canal route runs. Those meetings are as follows:
  • Clifton - Wednesday, January 5th, at 7pm, Clifton City Hall, 900 Clifton Ave
  • Paterson - Wednesday, January 12th, at 6:30pm, Paterson Free Public Library, 250 Broadway
  • Pompton Lakes - Thursday, January 13th, at 7pm, Borough Hall, 25 Lenox Ave
  • Little Falls & Woodland Park - Tuesday, January 25th, Little Falls Civic Center, Warren Street
  • Wayne - Wednesday, January 26th, at 6:30pm,Wayne Public Library, 461 Valley Road

    This would be terrific! Years ago I would ride from Fair Lawn out to E.C. Peer and Sons on the Morris Canal in Denville for lunch.

    The Delaware Canal in PA (western side of Delaware River) is a great model of canal restoration, though flood damage has rendered large sections of the towpath unridable w/o a mountain bike.
