Using former railway grades is a great idea for pedestrians and bicyclists as trains couldn't go up and down steep hills either!

And kind of amazing for micro-mobility. On my ebike I went from my house in SqHill to being parked in the courtyard of the AC Courthouse in 17 minutes. Most of which was just cruising along a rail trail with no cars.

The selling point I've given to the whiners who don't want to see anyone getting anything helpful unless it also helps them; is that it also gets a car off the road and reduces traffic (and gasoline demand, and thus cost).

Also improves the parking situation! My bike didn't take up an on-street (or garage) space downtown, leaving more available parking for those in cars.
