Slickcraft.... there could be peaceful coexistence. But...

The WOW trail will require a fence... Southdown doesn't want the WOW trail or the fence. They have an uphill argument as the rail trail was part of their planning documents. Not sure how well they would do in court.

The WOW people don't want to spend the $$ to build the causeways & walkways beside the narrow portions of the rail corridor. So if they can somehow get the state to pull the tracks....

The upside is, State law favors the railroads... and I think the HOBO has a renewal clause in their lease that gives them until 2029 or something. So the WOW trail spending the $$ on this study is STUPID.
