Westminster's mayor and Common Council agreed last night to begin work on the city's first walking and biking trail.

The council awarded a $348,000 contract to Thomas Bennett & Hunter Inc. of Westminster for the construction of the first phase of Westminster Community Trail. The 0.8-mile segment of blacktop pathway will extend from Long Valley Road to Tahoma Farm Road on the west end of the city.

Officials hope the path will extend from Wakefield Valley to West Main Street. The trail's total length has not been determined.

Construction could begin in mid-August, after approval from the State Highway Administration.


Mayor Kevin E. Dayhoff said he was eager to see the trail completed and hopes to name it for Terry Burk, a local business owner who was hit by a car and killed in 1995 while jogging on Route 97. … http://www.baltimoresun.com/
