About this project
Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School plans a pedestrian bridge on its Sumneytown Pike campus in Lower Gwynedd Township, linking the main school building to the track and field area. The span would cross wetlands and a stream buffer along a tributary of Trewellyn Creek, on a site of about 42 acres. The county supports the plan but asks that buffer areas disturbed by the work be replanted and protected from invasive plants.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: Replant vegetation along the new wood edge and riparian buffer to resist invasives, Replace wetlands and riparian buffer area destroyed by development, per township code §1298.17(c)
