Thursday afternoon commute - North

Good afternoon

• Maryland's lack of transportation funding could doom the Purple Line and with it the extended Capital Crescent Trail from Bethesda to Silver Spring. 
• A Maryland bill proposes making sidewalk cycling legal except where expressly prohibited (instead of illegal except where explicitly allowed). Pedestrians interviewed in the story are refreshingly willing to share their space.
• The North Trail will connect the Rock Creek Park Trail to ICC and nearly to Olney. 
• If performance parking comes to Adams Morgan and Georgetown, the revenue that supports local initiatives could fund bike parking and/or expanded Capital Bikeshare options. It's done that in other neighborhoods.

Actually it's called the North Branch Trail (not North Trail).

I wonder if they should give the ICC Trail a real name.

They should have pass a law that a bike trail is required on every road that has a speed limit of 30 MPH or faster in the US including country roads.
