Ben,
They currently allow that because the Beacon Line is not an active line. They have something called an envlope around the tracks. The trains hang 2-3 feet over the edge of the rail. The minimum emvlope of pedestrians and equipment beyond that…
Also remember that the city is basically broke...theats why they where pushing for the tod in the first place. They have no money to build, maintain or operate a light rail. Same goes for the MTA.
What needs to be done is to get the city to pressur…
I do have to state again that I am against any actual rail use of the tracks. There is no legal or feasible way to do pedestrians and rail. There are many laws and regulations that will prevent that. And no operator of the rails will ever support th…
It should go all the way to Fishkill and Hopewell. Could you imagine the people who would come! Think about how much the rail trail from Garnder to Rosendale has helped those towns! People could take a day trip from Hopewell down to Beacon by bike,…
