The same website has engineering drawings and renderings showing how that will be done. The website also links to the AA/DEIS document that consistently and repeatedly shows the trail will be alongside the rail - in fact it is shown to be paved, with bridges and underpasses at all major highway crossings, and completed into downtown Silver Spring. This will make it a more complete and more usable trail than it is today, which is much of the reason why <a href="http://www.waba.org" rel="nofollow">WABA</a> has endorsed the project and <a href="http://www.cctrail.org" rel="nofollow">CCCT</a> has chosen to remain neutral and not support the "Save the Trail" group based in Chevy Chase. <br /><br />And now the Mont. Co. Planning Board has just approved the Purple Line Master Plan which follows that plan closely.<br /><br />The Rails to Trails Conservancy reports on their <a href="http://www.railstotrails.org/ourWork/trailBuilding/toolbox/informationSummaries/rails-with-trails.html" rel="nofollow">website</a> that there are 140 trails along active rails in U.S. today, and more are being built. The RTC studies show the safety record of these trails is very good. <br /><br />Your source was wrong on all counts.silverspringtrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142254843465970449noreply@blogger.com
