>>1061398Any idea how many of these routes are doing to be trails and how many are going to be off shoulders on low traveled roads. cause I don't imagine them building a longer trail then the Paul Bunyan trail. And even if they do there probably going to turn old railroads into new trail method, which I have mix feelings.
Take the greenway for example, I absolutely love using it but I acknowledge if the bike path didn't get built it could of been a perfect alignment for a future LRT
I'm probably the first guy to ask for more bike trails, but when it involves eliminating old railways that could be reused for new passenger lines (which is one of the main reasons why the NLX passenger rail from Duluth to the Twin Cities can not simply reuse the abandoned track to St. Paul Union Depot), I'm a bit on the fence.
