Why are supporters of the Ecusta Trail so enthusiastic about the development of the trail?
Most of us have experienced trails in other locations and understand the positive impact that the Ecusta Trail could have on our community. We recognize this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to provide a linear public park within easy walking distance of thousands of residents of our two counties. Rail to Trail developments have been incredibly popular in other locations because they provide a nearly level path through diverse scenery that can be used by the entire community. Most of the expense of development has already been incurred with the engineering, grading, bridges, and road crossings already in place. We are certain that even those few neighbors who initially oppose the proposed trail will realize the benefits of the trail after it is built. We believe that the Ecusta Trail will make a great place to live even better.
