The trail running along 50 is not ideal - fig 8 on pg 16 reviewed. This figure includes an orange line which is a good option. Potential connections from old high school property through beaver dam park would be an asset. Pepco right away allows visibility which is ideal. The option shown in blue would be a very isolated trail which is problematic. 

The challenge with this route is mostly private property. The Town is in the best position to work with the state to determine ultimate feasibility with road agencies.  MD769 and 52nd Ave is a state road along with Kenilworth. Repurposed roads, street trees, cutting curbs, etc. would be a very challenging trail project due to the regulatory environment. High costs of moving utilities. Policy wise the state wants more trails though so it’s not impossible. But there is not currently a safe way to cross Kenilworth Ave. Another challenge of this design is maintenance. The Town will likely have to maintain the trail. 

Newton Route - Margaret brought up another route that would be a good option to evaluate further. Many residents already do this route to commute and bike which includes leaving Cheverly to the north on Cheverly Ave and connection through Newton St.
