Thanks to Martin at MBTA and everyone else who was involved in this project.
Unsurprisingly to anyone here, turns out outdoor rec is
1) popular
2) costs money
3) provides jobs
To everyone who's ever made a comment about "something something trails something clearcuts", numbers like this are how we start to try and change the balance of power - towns like Cumberland, where recreation takes over from resources. Carcross - revitalized by mountain biking. Show that rec matters, and show that rec can provide a sustainable economy. Dollars.
Get the population onboard with that concept, which will make politicians care, or elect ones who do.
