Christmas Wish List #1 - Mt. Vernon Trail Extension

XmasbikeWith Christmas just around the corner, I've decided to put together my wish list for DC area projects. Because of the inane song, I've come up with 12 items and I'll be putting them up one at a time. The order is not random, I've got favorites and we'll go from least to most so this should really be exciting (if you find this exciting you really need to leave the house more). Some of these projects have been considered, some are planned, some are funded and some are just crazy. So crazy they just might work. Feel free to add your wishlist in the comments.

#1 Extending the Mt. Vernon Trail North to the American Legion Bridge

Cost: Unknown
Status: Feasibility Study Complete
Probability: High
Comments: This has been mentioned before. It's a pretty good project from a recreational standpoint, and it would really open up the northern portion of the GW parkway to cyclists, but I'm not sure how much commuter use it will get. In order to reach full potential it will need to connect to a bicycle crossing of the American Legion Bridge.
