A Rail Trail for Concord!

Green space and safe exercise outlets are crucially important to healthy communities. Bicycling is the perfect solo or family activity.

I used to live in Boscawen. My family loved walking and biking along the trail to franklin. Just as we're we're leaving NH it got paved till almost to the bridge. It was wonderful. We still visit and bling from concord would be so much fun!!

Yes!

This project will enhance the quality of life of residents and tourists, adding to the popularity and economy of the Concord area. We need this project!

Only good can come from this kind of project. Economically and socially sound way to provide a safe way for everyone to get outside and be active.

So excited for this rail trail! I would be willing to travel to use the rail trail as well as grab a bite to eat and shop in the area afterwards! Please build it sooner than later, as my daughter is in her tweens and I'd like to be able to enjoy it with her while she's still interested. There are so few recreational places to enjoy locally... we always end up in Massachusetts! Help keep business in NH!

I love NH recreational trails! These trails bring together families and friends to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise. There's too many people caught up in technology these days so it's important to have places like the rail trails, where people can walk or ride their bikes.

I regularly use the Lebanon-Boscawen, Derry, and Salem Rail trails and see first hand how popular they are throughout the four seasons. They provide such a wonderful outdoor activity venue for biking, walking, running, snowshoeing, xc skiing. I hope we can get our capital city on board soon!

What a great way to be able to get families active together and see what's going on in our neighboring towns. Great for fitness and the economy. You have to treat yourself to ice cream after a nice hike or bike ride.

Rail trails are great places and should be supported whenever feasible.

I lived in Derry years before the last 5 miles were paved; railtrail was a cinder/dirt trail. My dog and I walked the trail to Windham connection for years seeing hardly anyone. Once the trail was paved it became very popular with bikers, joggers, walkers, runners--drew lots of people who often walked to Derry to eat in the restaurants near trail.

I support the Merrimack river greenway trail

Great idea!

What a great opportunity to extend our recreational opportunities.

Just do it. Please

I ran along these tracks for cross country and track all through middle and high school. It would be great to have a real trail there!

I have enjoyed the Northern Rail Trail from Boscawen to Lebanon. Would be great to have one in Concord. What about the old RR along Bog Road located between Concord and Penacook??? Would make a great flat trail.

See email to the State

I would like to advocate for the rail trail and for the NHDOT to adopt a complete street policy with the 10 yr plan.

America is too fat! We need to do this!
