We had a similar situation here in Pwnnsylvania with the so-called Radnor
trail. Adjoining land owners fought it for years but finally lost out and the
trail project went through. The western most end is about three blocks from our
home and I often pass it. Like the rails to trails project reported by my
friend in Northern New Jersey, even before it was "officially" opened it was
frequented by dog owners and to quote my friend: "We all know why owners walk
their dogs."

There is a similar rails to trails project on what was the old rail line from
Savannah to Tybee Island, Georgia. When we visited our son over the past few
years we often passed one of the entrances to that trail. The trail always
seemed to be deserted.

Rails to trails projects remind me of the students who fought diligently for
a class to be included in their college's curriculum regarding "black
history". They were so disruptive that the college finally caved in and at great
expense provided such a class. I guess you know the kick line. Only a few
students signed up for the class and as a result the much demanded class was
unceremoniously dropped !
