Planners May Alter Highway Bike Path

Washington Post, by Katherine Shaver

It was the one part of the six-lane intercounty connector that even highway haters embraced as a small but eco-friendly offset to a road that will pave over streams, woods and wildlife.

Now, the possibility of building a continuous, off-road bicycle and walking trail along the Maryland highway’s 18.8-mile route is in jeopardy—in the name of protecting the environment.

  • 2. · "But bicycle enthusiasts say forgoing a continuous off-road trail on environmental grounds is absurd, saying damage from a path would be minuscule compared with that from the highway."

    Wait until they get old enough to drive a car and then listen to them change their tune. Oh, you say some of them are old enough to drive a car? Don't tell them about crossing 60' of the Mattawoman or they will never have a good night's sleep again.
