fWotD Episode 2751: Walden–Wallkill Rail Trail Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 15 November 2024 is Walden–Wallkill Rail Trail.The Walden–Wallkill Rail Trail, also known as the Jesse McHugh Rail Trail, is a 3.22-mile (5.18 km) rail trail between the village of Walden and the neighboring hamlet of Wallkill. The two communities are located in Orange County and Ulster County, respectively, in upstate New York.The trail, like the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail to the north, is part of the former Wallkill Valley Railroad's rail corridor. The railway was the first to operate in Ulster County and transported goods and people. Passenger service ended in 1937 due to declining customers, and the opening of the New York State Thruway and decreased freight traffic caused the line to close in 1957. The land was purchased by the towns of Montgomery and Shawangunk in 1985 and converted to a public trail. The portion of the trail in Shawangunk was formally opened in 1993 and named after former town supervisor Jesse McHugh. Plans to pave the trail between Walden and Wallkill were discussed since 2001, and the route was finally paved between 2008 and 2009. The trail includes an unofficial, unimproved section to the north of Wallkill, and is bounded by NY 52 and NY 208.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Friday, 15 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Walden–Wallkill Rail Trail on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Emma.

In today's episode, I will be sharing the financial journey of Jack, a Kiwi from the lower North Island. Jack found The Happy Saver when he was searching for podcasts on money. As an investor in rental property, he was looking to learn about shares. As you'll find out shortly, he leads an interesting life. He has a personality that I can relate to; he said he could talk to a lamp post, and as a result, he meets heaps of people, so he had no qualms about stopping in to visit Jonny and I when he was down in Central Otago riding the famous Rail Trail and doing other interesting things, earlier in the year. We've stayed in touch since, and I'm pleased I have because Jack gets about. When we chatted for this podcast, he was sitting in San Fransisco, having just had many months overseas and was getting ready to board a three-week cruise to bring him back home to Aotearoa.

Today I'm looking at linear parks – effectively, old road or rail lines that are now green vectors for hikers and bikers. Some, like my location today, are in the middle of busy cities: I am in Seoul, South Korea, on a 1970s flyover that was threatened with demolition yet rescued and turned into a leafy, elevated walkway above the tumult of the city. New York has a similar option, the High Line, which has taken over a former elevated freight line in Manhattan.Two rail links now turned into cycle/walkways that I particularly like: Singapore's Rail Trail and the Great Western Greenway between Westport, Co Mayo and Achill Island in the west of Ireland.This podcast is free, as is my weekly newsletter.

Our conversation today gave lots of background and details for the Shenandoah Rail Trail. Cari Orebaugh, Asst Town Manager for the town of Broadway, and Kyle Lawrence, Executive Director for the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition joined me to explain the magnitude and benefits of the project. Cari told us about the plans Broadway is making to incorporate the trail which includes adding parking and other amenities. We talked about the health benefits as well as the economic and community benefits the trail will bring to the communities it serves. The Shenandoah Rail Trail Partnership is an unincorporated coalition of public, private, and non-profit organizations along the proposed Shenandoah Valley Rail Trail that have come together with the vision of transforming an unused single-track railroad corridor from Broadway to Front Royal into a multi-use almost 50-mile trail re-connecting communities, businesses, schools, and many local cultural and historic resources. The Shenandoah Rail Trail Exploratory Partnership Governance Council has representation from all the towns and counties along the route, in addition to the two regional Planning District Commissions and four regional nonprofits. It's a large group, but this makeup ensures each community is represented and that considerations for each locality will be taken into account as the vision for the trail unfolds. Cari also told us about the community input meetings that will be held in each of the localities from February through April. View dates, times and locations here. Each meeting will give a history and status of the project, why a trail is the best option for this corridor to once again serve the communities along its route, and the possibilities a trail brings. At the meeting, there will be an opportunity for input so this trail is designed first and foremost with local community members in mind. Presenters will showcase maps, photos, and examples from other trails, and representatives from the towns and Shenandoah Rail Trail will be available to address questions and provide local context. Learn more about the Shenandoah Rail Trail here: ShenandoahRailTrail.org

They are on to tell us about their experiences biking across the country with everything they needed packed on their bikes. Speaking of Rails to Trails, I interviewed Kevin Belanger, a trail planner for Rails to Trails back in episode 89. Kevin's focus was on the Great American Rail-Trail which is an effort to connect a multi-use trail across the country and so far they are over half done with 2,000 miles completed.

If you're a frequent user of the Mary Black Foundation Rail Trail, chances are you've seen Fretwell's construction progress over the past year . Recently opened, the new mixed-use gathering space features a new headquarters for Little River Roasting and a concessions trailer selling sandwiches, specialty drinks, wine and beer, and snacks, along with a stage area overlooking the trail, a large grassy area for games and recreation, as well as space for food trucks and events. Redeveloped by a group of local Spartanburg entrepreneurs, the former industrial area is positioned to capitalize on the growth the Rail Trail has seen in recent years and takes its inspiration from similar concepts such as Asheville's Wedge at Foundation. Today on the podcast, we're talking with some of the folks behind Fretwell to get details on the development and what they've got planned for their first summer. Listen below for details, and be sure to check out Fretwell's and accounts to learn more!

Before joining the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy team in 2016 as a trail planner, Kevin Belanger spent many years in the active-transportation world. He received master's degrees in both Environmental Studies and Community and Regional Planning from the University of Oregon, where he wrote his thesis on walking and biking habits in suburban multifamily housing. After completing his formal education, Kevin spent time in the consulting world and then as the bicycle and pedestrian coordinator for a suburb in Maryland. Lately, Kevin is focused on an exciting project I'm so excited to share with you all – it's the Great American Rail-Trail, a signature project of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy to connect the country via a 3,700-mile-long mult-iuse trail between Washington, DC and Washington State. His favorite part of the job is seeing the light bulb go off in people's heads when they see what this trail can do for them and their communities. Today we'll talk about yet another human being who left a job that looked great on paper but wasn't filling up his cup – and how he turned that around into work and a life he is passionate about. We talked about: The importance of active transportation The impact of trails and bike and pedestrian access on individuals and communities Launching a massive initiative with many partners and private landowners So with that, let's listen in and gear up for what's next.

If you've been to the Whitewater Center during the winter the past couple of years, one of your highlights has surely been the Whitewater “Lights” along their wooded trails.

Now the same artist is lighting up a couple of popular public exhibits around town – like the Rail Trail in SouthEnd and, in April, Charlotte Shout. These are exciting times for Meredith Connelly, who blends light and technology with art that dazzles us. And now she's here on the BrandBuilders Podcast to share what inspires her.
