Regarding Norristown and the SRT.
Wife and I were on the SRT on Saturday, Sunday and again yesterday (Tuesday).
On Saturday afternoon we noted a police SUV parked along the trail at Haws Ave. taking a break. The guy carried mud onto the trail with his SUV.
Norristown at Haws Ave. is still a lot safer than the neighborhood I live in. We have noted that sometimes there will be people from that section of Norristown walking on the trail or standing near it. We found that most respond with a smile if we simply give them a pleasant hello.
Last summer there were problems along the trail at that point. But the thugs on the playground were given the message that it was not wise to mess with trail traffic. They listened!
Saturday and Sunday my wife and I were surprised at the number of trail users. At times things were tight. Even yesterday on a weekday the afternoon hours saw a lot of trail users.
