I am not a clueless elite. I do not live in Chevy Chase -- I live in Bethesda, in a tax-assisted low income development. No, there is no consensus on this issue. The trail has been blocked off for over a year. It is a shambles. Trees have been yanked out. Chain link fences have been erected. What was once a beautiful, peaceful place to go simply is no longer.

I grew up in Bethesda. I've seen a lot. I wish the Purple Line and the 2 million dollar homes would all go away.[/quote]

If you want your trail back, you should be supporting the completion of the PL.  You will have a better trail, one that will not get washed out when it rains, will not be covered in mud and will be ensured to be kept up.  In addition to widening the trail to make sure there is enough space for both walkers and bikers and there will be regular maintenance and cleaning to make sure that the seasonal problems that affect the current trail do not close off portions every Spring.

You should be blaming the anti-PL protesters for making the reconstruction of the trail take as long as it has taken.  It was supposed to be done this year, but it won't be thanks to them.

This is what the trail is supposed to look like when done and will be kept up and cleaned for a change.
