One issue: Can the Purple Line be green?
Awesome pictures and even more proof to quelch the whining about light rail being incompatible with pedestrians & cyclists. Now if we could just get some Gaudi inspired architecture for our Purple Line stations
Once you destroy the 17 acres of forest between Bethesda and Silver Spring it will be gone forever…an ecological/environmental disaster.
Please consider this for our future generations.
In this heat the shaded trail is a welcomed respite, on all sections of the CCT.
In this economy, we cannot afford another transit system, especially when Metro is hurting for funds.
Let’s make our existing infrastructure more efficient and economical.
I’m all for making the trail more accessible and longer.
I love the trail.
The problem is that this drumbeat for a train, being played by the developers, is drowning out propper, efficient planning.
How much more traffic will the development around the stations cause – please look at these plans, suspiciously not included in the PL plans – look at the Land Use Committee’s proposed plans (initiated by the developers).
Your video lacks bikes in both directions, with runners, walkers and children learning how to ride their bikes.
Let’s have a conversation – name calling doesn’t help further the trail.
@ Everybody’s Trail
This is rail line, it was bought so it could be used as a rail line. Though I’m not against having a trail beside the rail line.
