Rock Creek Bike Path to be rebuilt, expanded

According to the District government's bicycle coordinator, Jim Sebastian, the Rock Creek bike path, from P Street NW to Broad Branch Road NW, (so most of the trail within the District) is scheduled to be rebuilt. That project, involving the city and the National Park Service, is scheduled to start in January 2007 and take six to nine months to complete.

In addition, DDOT plans to rebuild the bike path in Rose Park between P Street NW and M Street NW. This path runs parallel to Rock Creek, but up above Rock Creek Park.

Finally, the Harbourside development is getting closer to completion in Georgetown. This development is located at the confluence of Rock Creek and the Potomac, south of K Street NW and east of the Washington Harbor. It includes an office building , the new Swedish Embassy, and bicycle path facilities that the NPS claims will

facilitate this portion of the bicycle trail connection between the Capital Crescent Trail and the Rock Creek trail system.
