<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Aaron. When I was the City Council Liaison to the Hyattsville Legacy Trail Task Force, we had done the ground work with CSX about the right of way. You either have to reclaim the old right of way from the roadway (fat chance with SHA) or go through CSX's procedure to get permission to use their right of way. There were buried utility issues, but where things were left at that point was that the City had to cough up about $10,000 for an engineering study and the most probable outcome was a contingent easement. I'll check with Eileen to see where things have gone since then ... -- Chris<div>

The obvious issue is the connection between state highways and the trail along the road. Most of the old right of way is in the road layout. Give a call to Eileen nivara at MNCPPC about it. She has the answers. <br>

It has been a long time in coming, but this important bike and walking path will provide a much needed connection between Hyattsville, Riverdale Park and eventually College Park as well as destinations north and south. The first section to be constructed will directly connect the EYA Arts District to Franklin's Restaurant and destinations south as well as to Riverdale Park and its historic town center. After this section is complete, work will begin on the trail north of Queensbury Rd. in Riverdale Park.
