From GObike Buffalo:
We’ve been aware of the effort to continue and complete the Peanut Line Trail through Amherst, and have promoted their rides in the past. Clarence pulled off their conversion of an old rail line, but Amherst did not, and lost their state grant to do so. Noel Dill, a leading advocate in getting the trail completed, spoke with us about the timeline of events, how the town of Amherst has been held back by a few loud voices, and what’s up next, especially for Sunday 7/31’s ride.
In the name of creating more trail space to give children and adults out walking and riding safe space away from cars, whose reckless driving is on a dramatic climb alongside crashes, injuries and deaths all over our region, we highly encourage you to join this ride! That’s not to mention the benefits that come to the businesses near the trail (pedestrians and cyclists spend more than drivers at local establishments), the improved accessibility for those who cannot or choose not to drive, the health and connectivity of the surrounding communities, and the positive impact on the environment that more trails and greenways creates. Let’s ride!
