    Hope I live long enough to use the bike trail section. Although I suppose walking or mountain biking sections of it in the meantime may be a possibility. Hopefully the bridges will stay in place for the time being.

    Seems odd to push the rail section first with COVID raging and social distancing being encouraged. But I suppose it is the easiest and cheapest plan.

    Has any explanation been provided by those in charge of the project as to why the rail portion has been given priority over the recreational part of the trail? Completion of the recreational trail in 2024 (if then!) seems foolish in the age of a pandemic. More information is needed from those responsible for this project.

    Want to see a tourist train in action?s Come to Warren County and see the waste of millions of tax dollars spent on train track refurbishing, train stations,ice cream caboose moved from North River to Thurman never to open. And now it’s rinse and repeat.

    Hi everybody, my name is Caytelynne. They call me Cayti for short. Anyway, I’m totally blind and I use a cane or dog when walking. A trail would be easy to follow for a blind person like me who has no vision at all, not even light perception. Braille on signs would be great as well. I obviously don’t drive so I get around by Uber, etc. I like those raised bumps on sidewalks and intersections, they really help me because I can’t see at all and I depend on my ears more. My dog is really good with helping me avoid obstacles. Bye, Caytelynne.
