Now correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there a whole bunch of public improvements all along the canal in the way of publicly maintained paths with wood cribbin to help with footing and also to contain erosion.These have been there for a very long time 20 yrs plus as I seem to recal. Public improvement ie eminent domain. They never said a thing about it till now. LOL sorry but they're a bit late. File a sease and decist order through the local court and push the issue.They're trying to bully their way through this. Every time one of us used these paths and the thousands of walkers,bike riders,joggers and so on used them goes towards public use and eminent domain.They tried this in Maine and the only place it stuck was on tressels dues to safety issues ie trains throwing brake shoes and such or people falling of due to the trains being too close.As far as puttin sitations on cars parked on a public road with dozens of pull outs just meant for parking to use all those paths well I bet a case of public harrasment would fit real well especially with all the years of public use of all those publicly maintained paths to back it up. Those trains go through how many times a day? But it's up to you guys. Snooze you loose. Your choice we fought our battle and came out ok. Ron
