Montgomery County is busy installing buffered bike lanes, upgrading others to protected and building a protected intersection in Silver Spring, but WABA wants them to start work on a protected bike lane on Fenton too.
MoCo is already making plans to extend the "Purple Pathway" at the north end of the trail (below) as well as buffered lanes on Dixon, but WABA wants them to plan and build protected bike lanes and pedestrian improvements on Fenton through downtown. They have a petition you can sign, but you already missed their happy hour on it.
A PBL on Fenton makes a lot of sense and will work well with the Met Branch Trail once that's finished.
Meanwhile, they've also started work on the Frederick Road Bike Path. This will build a side path along Frederick Road in the Clarksburg area.
