PG County Action Alert

Overview from Charlie:
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 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
