The project is a critical connection in the existing bicycle network between the existing trails and important destinations including Needwood Road Bike Path, North Branch Trail, the Inter-County Connector (ICC) Trail, Shady Grove Metro Station, Sequoyah Elementary School, Colonel Zadok Magruder High School, and Olney Town Center.
