NOTE: unlike previous years, public participation in this segment of the walk is discouraged,
(though not forbidden), due to safety concerns. The affected municipalities have chosen to
forgo the expense of public service personnel and vehicles due to low public turnout for the
walk in recent years. As a result, we have changed the path for this segment of the walk from
Melwood Road (little to no shoulders) to Route 56 (wide shoulders). All walkers will be
required to stay on the shoulder and in single file where necessary. There will not be an
ambulance accompanying us as in the past.
Arrive: 10:30 AM Rite Aid, (7.1 miles) Depart: 11:00 AM Rite Aid Parking lot
NOTE: This segment of the Walk will also lack emergency services. There are sidewalks
available from Rite Aid (opposite side of Leechburg Road), through the Hillcrest Shopping
Center and along Wildlife Lodge Road to within several hundred feet of Route 56. We will
need to cross Route 56 quickly using the traffic signal cycles, then proceed to the driveway of
VFW Post 92.
