I just finished a rail trail from Pittsburg to Cumberland, MD. I witnessed first hand the economic benefits for the towns along the trail. Concord now has that same opportunity and would be wise to embrace the opportunity. The potential of the Northern Rail trail is enormous!
I have ridden the portions of the Northern Rail Trail and Concord-Lake Sunapee trails and support the organizations that build them. I regularly ride (and dine! and shop!) in Concord and would welcome access to more of the city via the MRGT.
I have a walking disability and get around on a 4-wheeled scooter. During Covid , my family and I explored on some of the trails in Concord. The more, the better! These could be a magnet to draw more people into our beautiful city.
We enjoyed a rail trail in Dutchess County, NY, it was popular and connected to walking trails and biking trails, including the walking bridge over the Hudson River. Dutchess County Rail Trail quickly became a tourist attraction and it was paved and safe
I live in a West Concord neighborhood near this proposed trail and I know it would greatly improve the lives of everyone in West Concord and Penacook by giving walkers and bikers a safe way to get to downtown Concord.
More trails, please!
I would live to bike around Concord.

This is a long-sought 'missing link' in what will be a major rail-trail route across our scenic state. And this new trail also provides user access to beautiful downtown Concord. This legacy project will be here for us, our children, our grandchildren and well beyond!
