Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT), within available resources, to build an interim 10-foot wide bicycle and pedestrian trail adjacent to the existing rail bed and maintain the existing tracks and ties. Many portions of the track, including bridges, would need to be replaced. The cost to perform this work would be approximately $20.1 million. If the DOT does  not have sufficient available resources, the project may not move forward.
