\n[B’ Spokes: Just headlines (and my comments.)]
\nBe separate from automobiles
\nBe wide [B’ Spokes: Too many local trails are 8′ wide and not the 10′ wide as recommended here.]
\nHave paved or hard surfaces
\nConnect to other trails or destinations
\nAccommodate both transportation and recreation
\nBe a project that\u2019s realistic to build now or sometime soon
\nFollow uniform design standards [B’ Spokes: And I’ll add getting on or off a trail should not require that you pull out into traffic and make two sharp 90\u00b0 turns. i.e. Falls Road to Jones Falls Trail going south.]
