For years, New Mexicans have heard promises of "revitalization" and "redevelopment" in downtown Albuquerque—but is it actually happening? This week, Chris and Gabby sit down with Terry Brunner, Director of the Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency, to pull back the curtain on how government is working with the private sector to incentivize development. Brunner details housing plans, local business buy-in for increased security, and some long-game, multimillion-dollar projects like the 'Rail Trail.' What is it exactly? And when could people see the Rail Trail in real life? Thanks for listening. If you've got an idea, send it to us at chris.mckee@krqe.com or gabrielle.burkhart@krqe.com.

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.

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

The 93-mile Lamoille Valley Rail Trail that crosses northern Vermont is expected to be fully open by the beginning of February. Organizers hope the trail will boost tourism and create new opportunities for nearby communities while maintaining their character.

This week meet the guys from ReadyRiders.bike. Mike and Steve recently packed up their bikes and rode the entire Great American Rail Trail. It took them 90 days to pedal over 4,000 miles of mixed terrain surfaces, passing through 14 states as they made their way from Washington DC to Washington state. 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. This is a non profit organization and you can check out their website at railstotrails.org. Also, you should check out The Ready Riders blog at readyriders.bike.
