As a long-time resident of Radnor Township, Mr. Meier was active in a grassroots movement to create a 2.4-mile multi-use trail from an abandoned trolley line spanning the township. He created mapping to illustrate that the trail would be readily accessible to the majority of the township’s citizens and how it would make existing open space and commercial areas safely accessible to non-motorists. Ultimately, a township referendum overwhelmed the opposition of the township’s supervisors and the trail was constructed with ISTEA funding and township open space bonds. The trail has been a huge success. He confesses to an obsessive compulsion for rescuing discarded bicycles from a trip to the landfill and resurrecting them with his son for family, friends, and charity. “A bike is a terrible thing to waste.” LinkedIn: Dan Meier
