A new bike lane leading to Wentz Run Park will get plenty of use on Friday, April 26 during a Whitpain Township and nonprofit GVF bike ride event.

Both organizations will celebrate the installation of the Anvil Road Bike Lane with an 8:15 a.m. bike ride to promote GVF’s “Bike More, Drive Less” project.

Interested bikers should meet at 8:15 a.m. at the Montgomery County Community College Blue Bell campus, followed by an 8:30 a.m. departure. Arrival at Wentz Run Park will be around 8:45 a.m. with a 9 a.m. press event.

According to Whitpain Wire newsletter, GVF, a nonprofit Transportation Demand Management and transportation management agency founded in 1990, surveyed residents and analyzed data to determine that a bike lane on Anvil Lane would be an area of improvement.

Township supervisors adopted a no-parking ordinance on Anvil Lane and then installed the dedicated lane and associated signage.

According to Whitpain Wire, GVF is leading an innovative, new project that supports bicycling as a travel option. The DVRPC-funded “Bike More, Drive Less” project falls in line with the county’s Bike Montco project, according to Whitpain Township.
