I'm working on a local advocacy project, converting a derelict rail
trestle to a
bike/ped bridge. As usual there are a few vocal NIMBYs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What possible objection could anyone have to a project like this?

Google "Rails to Trails"--an organization dedicated to converting these old
routes to multi-use trails. Besides the obvious benefits, one of their main
arguments is that if the country ever needs these routes again for
transportation, it will be much easier to resurrect them if they are not
broken up for other uses.
