The Gazette-Mail recently had a top-of-the-fold article that should gladden the hearts of all West Virginians, with the headline “W.Va. Senate passes DOT recreational trail plan bill.”
The West Virginia Senate has passed a bill, Senate Bill 196, that would expand state authority to acquire railroad rights-of-way and land for trail programs. SB 196 would allow the state to acquire interest in any active or inactive railroad right-of-way, and landowner opponents of planned nonmotorized Elk River Trail development in Clay County fear the bill is designed to circumvent their claims of right-of-way ownership.
