Oh, come ON. That trail needs many things. Those bollards are not among them.

I haven't ridden there in forever - have they fixed the trail through the underpass yet?
Posted by: DaveS | March 13, 2013 at 12:18 PM
Those bollards are very useful for snagging panniers
Posted by: Sam | March 13, 2013 at 12:19 PM
Just think of how many complete idiot evil doers they will stop!!!

Man, how the hell do you defeat those?

@DaveS - not as of a few weeks ago.
Posted by: MB | March 13, 2013 at 01:13 PM
Maybe they could go with just one bollard, so its clear you should not drive a car on the trail, but seriously, who signed off on the three bollards? That's comical.
Posted by: turtleshell | March 13, 2013 at 02:57 PM
Why don't they put bollards in the grass too, so that errant drivers don't try to drive around the bollards on the trail?
Posted by: Greenbelt | March 13, 2013 at 04:49 PM
Greenbelt, judging from the tracks in the grass, you might be on to something there.

whoever approved this is a dullard

Those bollards will probably have to be removed. Do they let a Burley trailer through? Montgomery County had to remove two bollards that a trailer wouldn't fit between.
