Summary
A county-led $700,000 study is designing a bike/pedestrian trail along the seven-mile 30th St rail corridor, but Bauman argues commuter rail would do far more for disinvested neighborhoods. Members fear the trail study will crowd out rail planning, and urged planners to preserve space for future stations and seek separate rail funding.

Impact analysis
The study is $700,000 in federal grant money; buying the corridor could cost roughly $10-14 million based on past sale figures discussed.
Nearby neighborhoods would gain either a recreation trail or — under Bauman's vision — fast rail transit linking to KRM.
