  1. The city’s street grid was never properly laid out on the south & west sides. But there is plenty of rail right of way. It’s critical for the growth of the south & west sides that rail ROW is repurposed for trails and/or transit ASAP after it becomes available.

    So hopefully this happens sooner rather than later.

    1. Property owners with RR company easements get such a good deal out of rail-to-trail conversions. They get paid up-front, then their property values increase. Hopefully an incentive good enough to accelerate this.

      Turns out that living adjacent to public right of way is a huge asset as long as freight trains or car traffic aren’t causing noise problems.

    1. Whatever the plan is if it comes to fruition it provides a connection that can link into Mars Hill. Also this crosses the Eagle Creek/White River Trail and ends near where Morris St was recently upgraded to include an off street path. It would be far from a stray trail in an industrial complex. If this happens being able to access a pathway from off Maywood Ave would be a huge win for a neighborhood that deserves a win in infrastructure investment.
