Santa Cruz rail/trail saga continues
Author: CarolVoss

Local tv covering 3+ hour contentious meeting as Santa Cruz politicos say Progressive Rail can pick up the freight biz left by IP and bike trail people protest etc. Major tempest in tea pot— maybe Howard Cohen can elucidate.

Maybe they can get solar powered Tele-porter devices. That should keep the argument going for a while...

This is such BS! All around the world there are corridors of both a bike lane and railroad, separated by a 3-4 ft fence. The wacko from Aptos who is spearheading the bike only use needs to see who a civilized government works

Such an arrangement works in Portland where the Springbrook Trail occupies part of the Oregon Pacific Railroad row with a fence separation most of the way. Granted, it's not Class 1 mainline and they only run a few trains a week at low speed but it does work.

Getting so the bike bunch rules everything from how streets are redone so they can take up more causing congestion. They still ride like idiots with no thoughts on getting flattened by a truck or car.

The national highway network began with the bicycle lobby.
