Jones Falls Trail update
Riding a bike can be fun, but it is not just for recreation anymore. Increasingly it is a way to travel to and from work or to run errands. Bike commuting is not for everyone. Being fit, confident about riding in traffic, and having access to a shower at work helps.It also helps to have a good network of bike trails. Baltimore made another move in that direction recently when it received $4 million from the Maryland Department of Transportation to extend the Jones Falls hiking and biking trail into Mount Washington.
The trail will run from Cylburn Arboretum through Mount Washington and will end at the Mount Washington light rail station. Construction will probably begin in November and is likely to be completed in 12 to 18 months, according to Gennady Schwartz, chief of capital development for Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks. Eventually it will link up to a section of the Jones Falls trail that now runs from Clipper Mill to Penn Station, Mr. Schwartz said.
