You’re welcome! Thanks for reading. My hope is that the simple but effective ideas keep on coming. The United States definitely has a lot of infrastructure that can be reused — this should be our first course of action before using more materials to build new construction!

It is great to see switched-on urban planners recognizing the multi-faceted utility of rail-trails – particularly in our population centers. Thanks for the props!
We have a strong team of project specialists here at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and encourage anyone interested in a rail-trail project in their community to get in touch.
Jake.

Thank you Nina for this story.
