  • Open the Trestle" Rally County Executive Doug Duncan Announces Support for the Trestle and the Trail by Wayne Phyillaier/CCCT Chair
    HERESCENT Fall 1999 Vol X No. 4 Coalition Hosts "Open The Trestle" Rally County Executive Doug Duncan announces support for the trestle and the Trail By Wayne Phyillaier/CCCT Chair One of the best ways to build support and stewardship of the Capital Crescent Trail is to provide opportunities for trail users and local residents to experience trail advocacy in a personal way. On Saturday, October 23d, the Coalition for the Capital Crescent Trail did just that. Trail lovers from all around the metropolitan area participated in Coalition-sponsored hikes, both walking and biking, to the Rock Creek Park trestle for an "Open The Trestle" rally. Several Coalition Board members addressed the rally, and outlined why I repairing and opening the trestle for Trail use was essential for completing a first class interim trail to Silver Spring. Results of a Coalition sponsored I engineering design study were presented that show how the trestle can be rebuilt for Trail use at a t Dozrg Dz~ncanut rally fraction of the cost of building a new bridge. Joining rally participants was Montgomery County Executive, Mr. Doug Duncan, who spoke in support of completing the Trail. In a surprise announcement, Mr. Duncan pledged to put funding to rebuild the trestle in the upcoming FY 2001-2002 budget. He challenged trail supporters to do their part and get the support of the five County Council members needed to pass the budget. Mr. Duncan's pledge of support is a very welcome event, and allows the Coalition to focus its advocacy for the trestle on the Montgomery County council.

  • All Locations Described Below Are Designated Spots for BWI Airport. Do
    Spotting Guide to Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall - BWI Spotting Guide to Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall - BWI Location No.1 – Thomas A Dixon Jr. Aircraft Observation Park (also called Friendship Park): This is one of the finest spotting locations in the Washington - Baltimore area. This location is good only for arrivals on Runway 33L. (Runway 33L is the preferred Runway at BWI and used if winds are from North, Southwest or West). This Runway is used by most airlines with exception of few commuter turboprop flights. There are two simple rules that you should know and obey while in the park. Do not cross the wooden fence. If you cross the fence and walk on the grassy area you can be arrested. You have no business going there. That land belongs to Federal government and has all Runway system installations. Maryland State Police has headquarters located few hundred feet away. You will be spotted in matter of seconds. Also, don’t walk on the street. Police don’t like people walking on Dorsey Road. That street has posted speed limit of 55mph. It is for your own safety to stay away from it. Finally don't be alarmed if cars blow their horns - the local drivers seem to get some amusement out of it. Camera: Up to about 300mm is required for bizjets but liners are possible with less than 150mm. Times: This place is good for photography from noon until dark. Parking: This parking lot fills up quickly on the weekends and you might have hard time looking for space to park your car (because there is BWI Frequencies: also playground for kids and bike trail).
