Schuylkill River Trail looking for votes in Google Street View competition
The Schuylkill River Trail could get Google Street View treatment.
The popular recreational trail has been nominated as a finalist for Google’s Street View Trike competition, according to the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia.
The Schuylkill is among 24 finalists that were voted on from a pool of 25,000. If it beats four others in the parks and trails category, Google would photograph the trail for its Street View map service.
The Coalition is asking locals to vote for Schuykill against competition like D.C.’s Capital Crescent Trail and others. A win could raise the Schuylkill’s national profile, the organization says, which could give BCGP political clout to help complete the trail’s development. Avid bike advocates that we are at Technically Philly, we’re going to take our journalist caps off for a moment and urge you to keep it local.
