What good is a rail corridor?
A lot of good, say our friends at Friends of the Rail Trail and People Power, if we the people own it and put it to good use. We tend to agree, especially in light of a future in which cars will play a diminishing role.
While the Regional Transportation Commission is likely to approve the 11th hour purchase of the corridor (before funding disappears), it doesn't hurt to let them know that we really care.
For this reason, a Rail Cleanup and Art Day has been planned for Sunday, September 27th, at 1PM, to help us put our sentiments into action. We will be cleaning up trash and making art...maybe even painting our visions of what we will do with the rail line in the near future.
The event will start at two locations:
- On the east side of the San Lorenzo River Trestle
- At the Bike Station in Aptos Village
Wear closed toe shoes and gloves.
Please bring garbage bags if you have them, and of course, art supplies!
