Anacostia Tributaries
Route 1 road diet could extend Trolley Trail in Hyattsville
|
A small-but-crucial gap in the Route 1 corridor’s bicycle network could be filled in under a plan being developed by the Maryland Department of Transportation. The gap in question is a roughly half-mile stretch of Rhode Island Avenue between the present-day southern terminus of the Trolley Trail at Farragut Street in Hyattsville and the Anacostia Tributary Trails where they cross Rhode Island Avenue near its intersection with Charles Armentrout Drive and 41st Street. The Trolley Trail runs through College Park, Riverdale Park and Hyattsville. But once you reach Farragut Street, the trail disappears. Cyclists who wish to continue south from there to the Anacostia Tributary Trail System are then forced to either take to the roadway or ride on sidewalks.
