Metropolitan Branch Trail: Silver Spring to DC

[divingbiker]

Nope, this isn't to plan a ride. I just read about the Metropolitan Branch Trail in the latest Rails to Trails magazine. The trail will be 8.25 miles and run from Silver Spring to Union Station in D.C. Apparently, "current projections have the Met Branch complete by year's end."

For those of you in Silver Spring, this is pretty cool!

I hope this is true. They've been promising this trail for years, with no progress. It would be fun to be able to do a loop from home to DC on the Metropolitan Branch Trail, up to Bethesda on Capital Crescent Trail, over to Silver Spring on the Georgetown Branch Trail, then back home on Sligo Creek Trail.
