article in the paper this morning.

Bikeway agency wants to turn old trestle into greenway

i like the solar and wind power ideas, what would be cooler is if they could make the entire deck a material that can produce energy when someone walks/bikes over it. i would like to see what happens at this meeting so i ask in advance for a report if someone goes.

This sounds like it could be really cool. I thought it was interesting that only Paris and New York have repositioned trestles for this purpose.
