Here's more
This trail will extend from the end of the current trail (Cherry Hill
Rd. and Home Depot) under the beltway through USDA land to Selman
road. Currently there is a trail in Selman park that continues up to Old
Gunpowder rd. They are currently rebuilding Gunpowder rd which
will/should (you never know) include a bike lane north. Eventually,
this will go all the way to Fairland Regional Park. The Patuxent
watershed area has many trails in the works, which will tie into this
system.
Other points: Ikea and a local builder (I'll have to get their name)
have promised some money for this trail. Ikea wants a spur of this
trail to go into their parking lot. The trail will use one of the
existing huge culverts that already pass under the beltway.
Any bike path that crosses a major road is significant to all local
bicyclists. This will be a major north/south route that will connect
N.E. DC, College Park, Hyattsville, Mt. Rainier, Riverdale, Takoma
Park to Beltsville, Laurel, Savage, Columbia and eventually
Baltimore….(one can hope). So we need y'all to email Eileen Nivera
and tell her of it's importance. SOON!! Thanks, Charlie
