The WB&A Trail Parking Lot is coming along nice here in Anne Arundel County. This is the first improved trail parking lots for the WB&A Trail - heck, it's really the first parking lot in my opinion.
It will really make the trail more accessible for all users in the area.
For all intents and purposes the trail parking lot is completed - it just needs some grass. The paving is completed, the sidewalks are done, the fences are up and it looking good. The County has gone with a pavement & grass option for this trail parking lot.
The road is paved, but the parking spots will be grassed. They need to get the grass established before they open it up to traffic. I’ve seen these pave/grass options in other places and they seem to hold up pretty good.
I suspect the grass option reduces the impermeable surface area and thereby reduced the storm water management requirements and cost - but that's just my guess.
Anyway, later this summer or in the early fall, we'll have trail parking lot for the WB&A Trail!
