Maryland's new Governor, Larry Hogan, has expressed concern about the state's plan to improve and complete the Capital Crescent Trail. We believe there is a real chance that he will delay or kill the trail project.

When finished, this trail will provide a low stress, paved connection between Georgetown, Bethesda and Silver Spring. Bridges and tunnels will keep the trail almost entirely separated from car traffic.

As you probably know, this trail is entwined with the Purple Line transit project. You can learn more about our position on the Purple Line here, but the short version is: completing the trail is a complex and expensive investment. The Purple Line project is the only realistic way this trail will be completed. Both transportation projects complement each other, and will move forward together or not at all.

Please ask Governor Hogan to build the trail.
