The
growing popularity of outdoor recreation activities, such
as cycling, inline skating, walking and running, combined
with the loss of community open space, heavy traffic on
our roads has increased the need for quality recreational
facilities such as a rail-trail.
Rail-trails provide places for cyclists, hikers, walkers,
runners, inline skaters, and physically challenged
individuals to exercise and experience the many natural
and cultural wonders of the nation's urban, suburban and
rural environments. Rail-trails not only serve as
independent community amenities, they also enhance
existing recreational resources by linking neighborhoods
and schools to parks, waterfronts, recreational centers
and other facilities. Cycle-ways and footpaths are few in
the Tweed Valley, here's a chance to get the ultimate
footpath and cycle-way.
A rail trail in the Northern Rivers would attract tourists
to visit more of the Tweed Valley rather than just the
popular areas of Byron bay and Ballina. |
