I wrote FHWA last fall about including a multi-use trail in the B-W Parkway as one of the four options. FHWA wrote back saying that they would not consider a trail because trails were not in the master plan. I also urged SHA to take that position.

I wrote back saying that in fact, trails are in the PG master plan, so if they want to be consistent with the plan then they need to have a trail along the Parkway within PG from the Beltway to M-198. FHWA wrote back saying that they did not mean that they want to be consistent with local plans. Rather, that they do not want to consider a trail, and that if the trail was not withing the plan, then they would want to be consistent with plan.

I urged SHA to press this matter. At a state advisory meeting, Michael Jackson of MDOT suggested instead that NPS should allow bikes on the shoulder from MD-193 to MD-198.

I'm unclear whether SHA pushed this at all.
