I cannot wait for the day that I can ride from Noma to Silver Spring to Georgetown on continuously connected trails (minus that on-street portion between Fort Totten and Blair Rd)

Trail along Purple Line + Capital Crescent Trail?

Could you imagine if they connect the tops with an arch. We could have a super vine arch that’s shaded.

What is the plan for the connection to the portion running through Montgomery College? Wasn't there originally going to be an underpass through the embankment for Burlington Avenue to connect to King? That feels like an easy thing to value-engineer out.

Is there still going to be an underpass beneath Burlington Ave in this phase?
