Vermonters Impatient for Lamoille Valley Rail Trail

Thanks to the 40 people who packed into Bluebird Tavern’s function room last night to see the presentation from Laird MacDowell, Chair of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail Committee. The attendees were eager to see progress on this spectacular 92-mile trail…for it will deliver economic, tourism and health benefits to communities across Vermont. The project is currently in legal limbo as one landowner’s appeal may cause the project to go through Act 250. Here are some photos from along the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail corridor.
Get involved! Contact Laird MacDowell of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail Committee.

Sorry to have missed it last night. You are doing the right thing, trying to expand awareness beyond the people already involved. It is amazing how few people even in Stowe know about the LVRT trail, although there was a headline in the Stowe Reporter about it last week. Hope you will encourage them to expand their base of supporters.
This trail project must go forward. It is a shame that the noise impacts are endangering the project. How about stronger noise legislation directed at snowmobiles.? Let me know what I can do. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Karen! This project is as they say "too big to fail". It has such tourism and health benefits for the entire northern part of our state. We all need to pitch in and see what we can do. If people want to get involved, contact Chapin at Local Motion 802-861-2700×105.

Hi, I live off Patchen Rd in S Burlington; and I'm looking forward to a bike path along P. Rd.
Also Williston could really use one as it has no shoulder!!!
Thanks,
Judy
