  • Turning Baltimore's Trails Into a Network Could Bring Charm City a Near-Term
    Jones Falls Trail in Baltimore by charmcity123 licensed under Creative Commons. The Baltimore Greenways Trail Network is a relatively new idea. Other projects working their way through Maryland’s transportation pipeline, including the Purple Line, the cancelled Baltimore Red Line, the Corridor Cities Transitway, and the Southern Maryland Rapid Transit Project, each 1 of 10 1/2/2021, 12:05 PM date back decades. But the Baltimore Greenway, a proposed 35-mile network of urban trails ringing almost the entirety of Baltimore City, only dates back four or five years — Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s earliest planning meetings for the project launched toward the end of 2015. But despite its newness, the trail network, spearheaded by a coalition with more than 40 stakeholder members, has a key advantage: it’s already almost done. It would only take 10 more miles of trails — about $28 million — to complete the 35-mile network, which would link up to 75 neighborhoods and could come with millions of dollars in economic and social benefits. A new report by consulting firm Ernst & Young, commissioned by the Greater Washington Partnership (GWP), argues that the Baltimore Greenways Trail Network has the potential to not only bring countless benefits to the city, but also to do so sooner than any major transit project proposed in Central Maryland. The Greenway would be quick to complete because the concept makes use of already existing trails, including: The Gwynns Falls Trail, which originates in Baltimore’s largest park, Leakin Park, and has run about 15 miles along the Gwynns Falls river since 1998; The Jones Falls Trail, a 9-mile path, under various bits of construction since 1999, which runs north-south alongside Baltimore’s Jones Falls River from the Mt.
