Key Arguments Against the Rail Trail:

Privacy & Security Concerns – The trail would run through or near private residential areas, increasing foot traffic and potentially leading to trespassing or other disturbances.

Crime & Safety Issues – Increased access could lead to concerns about crime, vandalism, and drug-related activities affecting the neighborhood.

Property Value Impact – Proximity to a public trail could negatively affect property values for homes that border the route.

Traffic & Parking Problems – More visitors to the area may lead to increased traffic and illegal parking in residential zones.

Environmental & Maintenance Issues – Who will be responsible for maintaining the trail, managing waste, and addressing environmental concerns?
