I think we have to take the plunge with bike sharing in the densest, most urbanized areas of the county (DTSS and the Bethesda CBD are the best candidates) and start building better connections within and between these areas. It is amazing to see how many people use the Capital Crescent Trail for commuting, and building on this facility and the destinations it ties together seems to me to be a promising strategy. Finishing the Metropolitan Branch Trail between the SS metro and the DC line would be a huge step in the right direction.Casey Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13257605906533365614noreply@blogger.com
