From Railroads to Parks

Here's a wonderful re-use of an old railroad corridor. This photo was taken by a photographer named David Bakerfaia. 

Can you imagine how this idea could eventually play into the redevelopment of Escanaba's North Shore? Think of all the railroad tracks that run next to Little Bay de Noc and up the mouth of the Escanaba River. How about abandoned tracks near the fair grounds? Perhaps a small pedestrian park in the midst of franchise row on Lincoln Road near K-Mart?

The possibilities are unlimited.
