Senior Transportation Planner, Bucks County Planning Commission

Since 2006, Mr. Gordon has been the Bucks County Planning Commission’s principal trail planner. As principal author of the Bucks County Open Space and Greenways Plan, the document has been the blueprint for an interconnected network of greenways that protect ecologically valuable lands, habitats and migration pathways and provides open space, recreational opportunities and access to the County’s historic and cultural resources. Subsequent to this effort, Mr. Gordon has authored numerous plans and studies including the Upper, Middle and Lower Neshaminy Creek and the Mill-Queen Anne-Black Ditch Creek Trail Feasibility Studies; Newtown Rail Trail, the Buckingham and Northampton Township’s Master Trail and Bicycle Plans and a brochure series for Newtown, Neshaminy Creek and Upper Bucks Trails.

Through his efforts, the County has secured more than $6 million in trail grants. Additionally, Mr. Gordon developed the County’s Master Parcel File of open space and contributed to the award-winning County Maps and Data Portal. Perhaps Mr. Gordon’s greatest contribution is his public education and outreach with the public, elected officials and other stakeholders culminating in the construction of an interconnected trail system deemed to be very popular with residents.
