Activity Stream

I came. I saw. I rode. It was not bad at all. Granted, this was not during peak volume for this park. There will *still* be times when "full time...

That makes good sense. But in the meantime, can they make the rail crossing at Pendelton safer for cyclists to traverse?

A little historical tidbit is that the spur was the last active remnant of the W&OD, and thus part of Norfolk Southern, not CSX. AFAIK, there has not...

IIRC there was talk of using the spur for construction materials for the HilCo development.

It’s not officially abandoned though it hasn’t served any customers since around 2013 after the power plant shut down and WaPo stopped using Robinson...

In the Old Town North Small Area Plan the railroad tracks are planned to be a bike and pedestrian trail. Of course the removal of the tracks will...

Moped and tree are gone. NPS cleared out a massive amount of honeysuckle overgrowing the trail this summer. They even managed to back a chipper...

An ADA complaint might be effective in this instance since they did install a ramp but not an ADA compliant one. The process is pretty easy. I had a...

If you're looking for suggested comments, Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail have some here:...

In your defense, VPRA didn't exist in 2015 :)

Many thanks. Message sent, hopefully they act promptly.

Attended the ribbon cutting and talked some options with city staff. They said they would take a look at what could be done between Valley Drive and...
