City Officials in New Haven are resistant to consider this great route for a cycling path because they are concerned that Amtrak will not grant and easement. Given past experience that is understandable but maybe citizens could help work the problem. Does anybody have contacts at Amtrak so that residents could start a conversation with them about using this easement? It would be really sad to let past bureaucratic relationships get in the way of this great solution.

for those who might not know the background on this issue, here is some recent press from the new haven independent:

this would be a HUGE improvement over a section of the greenway merging with car traffic.
we will not grow the cycling community with shared paths in new haven, given the speeds, traffic violations, and aggressiveness of the drivers, as well as lack of support from officers when accidents happen.
demand more.
