Connects both metros
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser, the District Department of Transportation , and the National Park Service celebrated the newest section of the Metropolitan Branch Trail , between Brookland and Fort Totten. This new section closes a gap in the District’s pedestrian and bicycle network and represents a key milestone in the goal to complete the nearly 900-mile regional trail network.
The new 0.8-mile trail is 11 feet wide, connects the Fort Totten Metro to the Brookland Metro, and provides North-South bicycle and pedestrian connectivity for Catholic University, Lamond Riggs, Queens Chapel, Manor Park, and the surrounding neighborhoods. The new trail features LED lighting, stormwater management facilities, wayfinding signage, and security cameras.
The MBT is a major commuter route for residents and regularly sees more than 1,500 users per day. For the MBT’s Brookland to Fort Totten segment, DDOT partnered with Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and NPS to develop real-estate agreements allowing the trail to be built upon their respective properties. The total design and construction cost was $12.9 million.
