Trail Work Program Priorities Approved
 

 

 

On Thursday, September 29, The Montgomery County Planning Board approved the Staff recommended FY 07-09 Trails Work Program Priorities.

After hearing from several citizens and reviewing written testimony, the Planning Board made several changes and clarifications. The Board:

  • directed staff to work with the Friends of Callethia Farm to open an equestrian trail from the Farm to an overlook of the Potomac River as a pilot project at Blockhouse Point Conservation Park by January 1, 2006.
  • asked that of the proposed 10-12 annual trail events proposed in the work program, two per year be oriented to equestrians and two per year be oriented to mountain biking.
  • requested staff to help find ways to improve safety along the Capital Crescent Trail where it intersects Little Falls Parkway and Dorset Avenue.

The Planning Board approved priorities for FY04-06 are also shown.
