Let's take a look at the Weirs Beach bridge which includes a tunnel for one railroad rack. About 150 yards in from DW Hgwy, down Channel Lane, the rr tracks pass behind the Weirs drive-in movie screen and head downhill a short distance towards the tunnel. It would seem that rebuilding the tunnel to accomodate both the path and the rr racks is not at all doable, so a bike path route traveling along the perimeter of the drive-in property, and then crossing the DW Hgwy with an existing crosswalk would seem to be a path of least resistance. The drive-in would be losing an unused, 12' sloping embankment covered with small trees, and the lakes region would gain a beautifull wow trail and a replanted perimeter area.

Does this seem like a good trade-off to you?
