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. 

Explore this website and our interactive StoryMap to learn more about the project. Then let us know what you think!

Feedback is welcome until Monday, April 14, 2025.

Our Community Open House will take place on Monday, March 24, 2025 at The Cherry Hill Branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library (606 Cherry Hill Rd, Baltimore, MD 21225). Drop in anytime between 5 and 6:30 p.m. RSVP here.

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
