Fairland Trails Concept Plan
Meeting Set for September 22 You're invited to attend a community meeting Wednesday, September 22, at 7:00 p.m., at Bond Mill Elementary School, 16001 Sherwood Avenue, Laurel, on the proposed trails concept plan for M?NCCP's Fairland Recreational and Fairland Regional Parks in Burtonsville and Laurel. Trail planning staff will present a draft concept plan and encourage you to offer ideas, comments and concerns for the development of a trail network of natural and hard surface trails for walkers, hikers, cyclists and equestrians. This proposed trail network would connect to the existing shared-use Holly Trail and would replace an existing section of the trail network. For more information, contact trail planners Lyn Coleman, 301-650-4391, lyn.coleman@M-ncppc-mc.org or Eileen Nivera, 301-699-2522, eileen.nivera@pgparks.com. |
