Reply to comment by roccoccoSafredi in Linking Jones Falls, NCR trails would create a protected bike path from the Inner Harbor into Pennsylvania. A study is proposed. by finsterallen

Though trails like this can, and certainly would, also be used for non-recreation purposes, recreation is important.

It is. But the entire purpose of it is to link two trails that already exist for recreational purposes.

And there is nothing wrong with that. Trying to get from one to the other now is pretty difficult without driving.

Then drive.

Not everyone has a car (something like ~30% of Baltimore city residents) or wants to contribute to pollution and congestion for recreation. Why are you so against something that will benefit both city and county residents by giving them another option to travel back and forth between the two that doesn't impact those who choose to drive?

I'm not so against it. I just want people to have some perspective on stuff like this.
