Municipal leaders, county planners and health advocates gathered Thursday morning to share a vision for a non-motorized transportation corridor that would connect Lancaster city will its eastern and western suburbs.
About half of the proposed Greater Lancaster Heritage Pathway would be on the “Goat Path,” an abandoned bypass built by PennDOT in the 1970s, that stretches from the city to Leola.
The remainder of the 11-mile corridor would link a series of planned trails to carry the corridor to Lancaster General Heath’s suburban campus in West Hempfield Township.
The meeting was called by Lancaster General Health and the Lancaster Intermunicipal Committee. It comes a few months after LIMC received a county grant to study non-motorized transportation.

Fifty years ago, Lancaster was a very different place than it is today.
There was no Long’s Park amphitheater, no Gallery Row and the Fulton had barely survived being turned into a parking lot.
If you loved concerts, art shows, dance recitals or children’s shows, your options were few and far between.
But the Lancaster Summer Arts Festival, which officially got started 50 years ago this summer, began to change all that.
