  • The Dickerson Biking Trail
    THE DICKERSON BIKING TRAIL 摰摦 周畲獤慹Ⱐ乯癥浢敲′〬′〰㠠㌺ㄸ㨴㠠偍 THE DICKERSON BIKING TRAIL Bicycling through the Farmer’s World of 1895 This cycle tour recaptures some of the daily practices and customs of a farming community at the end of the 19th century. It visits farmsteads and the sites of social and commercial establishments that were part of the farm family’s life in and around Dickerson in 185. While the urban centers of this period were enjoying such technological innovations as electric lights and indoor plumbing, the farmer’s personal lifestyle had changed little since the mid-century. Not until electric power reached farther into the rural areas, arriving in Dickerson in 1928, did indoor plumbing facilities for farm homes become prevalent; the cast iron water pump and the now-legendary outhouse were still common rural fixtures. The farmer’s house, illuminated by gas or oil lamps, glowed much the same as homes half a century earlier. The major changes in the community had been in farming practices and transportation. While the farmer’s personal habits and manners had changed little from those of his immediate ancestors, reapers, threshers and self-propelled steam engines, along with better systems of fertilization and crop rotation, had allowed him to realize harvests unimaginable to his father. And the new railroad, the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which came through in 1873, gave him a quick, efficient way to get them to market. Running 41 miles from Washington to its junction with the old Main Line at Point of Rocks, the railroad had provided construction jobs for local day laborers and handymen and then maintenance work along the right- of-way, and white-collar jobs on the trains and in the many stationhouses.

  • Anderson Property Site Analysis
    ANDERSON PROPERTY SITE ANALYSIS Introduction The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) initiated a feasibility study in the fall of 2012 to evaluate the need for transit service expansion to the existing Boyds MARC Station on Clopper Road in Boyds, Maryland. The study area is shown in Figure 1. Due to future development, MCDOT’s Ride On service may expand in the future to Clarksburg and would provide service to the Boyds MARC station, Clarksburg’s closest station. The Boyds MARC Station Project was initiated as a result of a request from the Boyds Civic Association for greater frequency of stops of the MARC Brunswick line at the Boyds station. The Boyds Transit Improvements Feasibility Study, November 2015 summarized existing conditions, identified goals for the station to meet the expanded service request, evaluated potential sites, and recommended the improvements that could accommodate the projected expansion needs. After the completion of the feasibility study, one of the adjacent sites considered for the improvements (Anderson Property) has become available for purchase, see Figure 2, sites 7 and 9. As a result, a concept layout was developed to provide bus access and additional parking for the existing Boyds MARC station on these two adjacent sites. This site analysis will briefly summarize existing conditions, identify the goals developed in the feasibility study for the station to meet the expanded service request, evaluate the feasibility of the Anderson Property.
