When is a trail not a trail?

Woodside residents see the hiker/biker logo on the many "Georgetown Branch Trail" signs posted all along Second Avenue and Grace Church Road. Our neighbors in Rosemary Hills and Lyttonsville see the same logo on the signs along the several streets between Talbot Avenue and Stewart Avenue. Nice signs. But WHERE IS THE TRAIL?

There is no off-road bike path along any of these streets. There are no bike lanes. Some streets do not even have sidewalks. So why do we call this a trail??

The signs are needed for the growing number of cyclists trying to follow the many turns on the bike route between the end of the Interim CCT in Lyttonsville and downtown Silver Spring.

But we need more "truth in advertising" in the Georgetown Branch signs and maps and call it what it is, no more than an on-road bike route.
