The WOW trail co-exists with the RR for its entire (current) length. If they want to extend it to the Weirs, then pay the $$$ during construction to co-exist with the RR.

IMHO, It is not in the State/Public best interest to kill a tax paying existing business that is by all accounts doing well even during Covid. Sets a dangerous precedent.

I won't get into the homeless encampments that exist just off the WOW trail now! Just what the Weirs needs.... homeless encampments! Especially along all that very expensive Paugus Bay property!

This is all moot anyway..... pretty sure the RR has a 10yr option to renew coming up and then there will be the STB to deal with.
