The new digital sign on the Capital Crescent Trail at Bethesda Avenue was officially unveiled yesterday, although I gave you an advance sneak preview earlier Friday morning. Now that the trash bags have been removed from the obelisk, the reverse side features a separate digital count of "walkers" using the trail that day. Both sides also display the number of cyclists or walkers who have used the trail this year, although the numbers currently shown are suspect, as the sign only began counting yesterday.

Capital Crescent Trail sign also counting walkers

Nice looking sign, but it’s too bad it does not include a map to remind folks how close it is to ride or walk to nearby destinations. Eventually extending all the way from Georgetown to Silver Spring, it would be nice to see how close Chevy Chase Lake and Westbard are to downtown Bethesda.
