Patapsco Regional Greenway: Cherry Hill (Phase 1)

Overview

Plans are being made for a new trail in the Cherry Hill neighborhood of Baltimore City. This 1.7-mile trail will offer new ways to bike, walk and roll in the area. It will be designed to be comfortable and accessible for people of all ages and abilities.

At the north, this trail will connect with the existing Middle Branch/Gwynns Falls Trail.

At the south, it will link to the planned Maryland Department of Transportation, Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT MTA) Patapsco Avenue Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge. This will connect the neighborhood with the MDOT MTA Patapsco Light Rail Station.

PRG: Cherry Hill will become part of the Patapsco Regional Greenway (PRG). The Patapsco Regional Greenway Plan envisions a 40-mile, shared-use trail running through the Patapsco Valley from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Sykesville in Carroll County. The PRG is a larger effort to expand the regional trail network. The goal is to make it easier for people to get around by bike, on foot, or using mobility devices.

Patrick McMahonThis is a short but very important segment to make regional connections between our trail networks, making the whole much more valuable than the sum of the individual parts.

Paula WolfI'm excited about the prospect of the connection to other existing or planned trails, primarily the Guinness to Southwest Area Park connection.

Dan PrivesI think there needs to be more consideration of lessons learned. That Middle Branch trail was implemented decades ago and then apparently forgotten. No maintenance and very little usage, in my experience. How are you going to prevent that from happening with this big trail proj...See More
