It’s Friday, Aug. 28, 2026: Narrow streets, curvy roads, lots of blind spots, the West Chester area is gorgeous, but exploring it outside of your car can feel dangerous. That could all change with the introduction of a miles-long walking and bike path that would connect downtown West Chester to popular southern destinations like Rustin High School, Oakbourne Park, and eventually the greater Philadelphia region. In this week’s West Chester News Roundup, we discuss plans for a new Turks Head Trail with its founders. It’s actually a lot more doable than you might think.
Also, this week, it’s time to go back to school! (What? I’m not excited. Are you excited?) We look at updates made by the West Chester Area School District and discuss how they are preparing for potential measles cases. West Goshen chief of police announces his retirement, a new Mexican-Venezuelan fusion restaurant is opening on Gay St., and West Goshen moves forward with a new Splash Pad.
