Member Sponsored Briefing: Talk and Walk: An Update on the Baltimore Greenway Trails
Join us to learn more about the status of the 35-mile Baltimore Greenway Trail Network and to hear from those working to complete the trail. Panelists will share the value of the trail for transportation, recreation and neighborhood connectivity. This program will highlight the intersection of transportation, population health, and community development. Please join us for a robust conversation about how to support the unfinished legs of this trail network.
