Upgrades to Robert E. Lee Park

from the Baltimore Sun:

Meeting tonight on Upgrades to Robert E. Lee Park in Baltimore County

The Baltimore County Dept of Recreation and Parks will hold a public meeting at 7 pm Tuesday to discuss improvements to Robert E. Lee Park, a 415-acre property along Lake Roland that the county leases from the city. Topics include replacement of a pedestrian access bridge, which is under way,as well as development of a dog park and picnic areas. The county received $3 million in state funding and has budgeted an additional $3 to address upgrades to the park. The meeting will be held in the cafeteria of Dumbarton Middle School, 300 Dumbarton Road in the Rodgers Forge area. Information: 410-887-3871.

I plan to address bicycle acccess to the park via the Greenspring Branch ROW, Woodbrook Lane, and the Jones Falls Trail, all potential routes for the East Coast Greenway to get from Mt Washington up into the County. The voices of additional cyclists would be welcome.
