Last week Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and District Department of Transportation (DDOT) Director Gabe Klein celebrated the completion of a 1.5-mile section of the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT). The newly completed section of the trail runs 1.5 miles from New York Avenue to Franklin Street, NE. It allows users to bypass Florida, New York and Rhode Island Avenues, a combined 18 lanes of busy roadway. District residents can now bike, walk and jog on four miles of continuous trail stretching from Union Station to Catholic University. NoMa residents can access the trail at L, M or N Streets, NE.
The new section includes solar LED lighting, a new park at S Street, and connects to NoMa at New York Avenue. Eventually, the eight-mile trail will connect the National Mall to Silver Spring, Maryland. The entire eight miles is bikable, but much of the trail north of Catholic University is on road, with MBT signs.

Wow, Phoebe has an impressive vertical leap!
And that is a great trail. It sure would have saved me some trouble when I was commuting to 207 via Metro and skateboard.
