yonkers missing link of south county trailway


south county trailway, originally uploaded by galvoguy

Railroad tunnel and ROW under highway is straight ahead, no obstacles except local community politics. This is Yonkers unfinished portions of the south county trailway which is built along the right of way of the "Old Putnam Railroad"
the Yonkers portion looks like it would be easy to complete.
local talk is that the residents in the area between tuckahoe road and Cook/ Redmond field have been fighting the completion tooth and nail.
Word is they don't want the trailway ever completed through their neighborhood
Not sure if it is xenophobe or that they have taken ROW land as their own and don't want to stop the trespassing. maybe it is both
