Maryland plans to build more rail trails:
http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertai...0,736030.story

Note that the cost for one of them is $4.2M for 4 miles, or $1.05M/mile. That's over 7X what the one by me will cost.

Here's a .pdf that does a good job of providing details on what needs to be included in a bike trail project.
