Samoa Softball has a good write up of the event, Rails or Trails LWV style.
Heraldo has his Rails & Trails…and Security National?
Eureka Reporter has theirs, Panel of experts talks rails and trails
And the Sub Standard still doesn’t have anything.
Lets recap somethings, people seem to be missing. Fish & Game plus some HSU professors say the trail would be more damaging than a train. There is no time line for a trail. Patrick Higgins says gas will reach 5, 8, or 10 dollars a gallon, and yet doesn’t see a business plan for the railroad. Huh?
The railroad can’t allow people to borrow the tracks for ROW. The process of rail banking/rails to trails is one of abandonment. Abandonment is not what NCRA’s mandate was to do. Another problem is there must be NO plans for use of the tracks for twenty years, before you can get funding to convert the row from rail in to a trail. Period.
