We the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now, to STOP development of the 26 mile so-called “rail trail” from Eagle Rock to New Castle, VA
This trail will negatively impact the affected communities by changing what is loved and admired about them, rather than improve them. Major, potentially life-threatening safety issues exist with this trail proposal, as it is NOT an “abandoned” railroad bed along much of its length. Also, many other trails exist in this vicinity, some of which are on the verge of closing due to lack of use.
