    If anybody attended I would like a synopsis of the meeting. I was unable to attend.

    I did attend this meeting, my first one. Brett Allen told us that the route of the bikeway (7 miles) is owned by one person who is asking $7M for the land. The owner bought the land from Conrail in 1998 for $700K, expecting to resell the land for light rail use. Brett proposed raising money to buy the land by donations to “adopt a foot”.
    There is a lot of information on the WAD website, including this short summary:

    I hope the private ownership hassles won’t hold this up. At least the owner has come down in price.

    Is there a good source for ownership of the local rail lines? Specifically that unused/abandoned ones? It would be interesting to see what kind of rail trail system you could create here.
