On a mid-day run around the Arlington Loop, I was surprised and pleased to see an Arlington County employee trimming trees on the Custis just east of the I-66 underpass. The gent was trimming dead branches from the trees between the trail and 66.

Thanks to Arlington County!

Many thanks to Arlington County too for blowing the leaves off the trails. I’ve seen them out there several times recently.

These folks rock! One day I’ll be riding the trails and thinking “there sure are a lot of leaves”, and the next day….poof! ~ gone. I’m really impressed that the trails are so well maintained! They don’t clear snow though, do they? I guess we’ll see soon. JOHN

Yes, Custis trail is kept nicely free from leaves, nice job.

I just don’t get it. Why do they have funding to have people out there blowing leaves, but no funding to have people out there in the winter blowing snow?
