I believe that the primary objection to the WOW trail is the fencing. Clearly, putting a chain link fence along the shorefront does not qualify in anyone's book as beautification. IMHO, if not for the need for the fence, then the common use issues could be reconciled. It seems to me, that if the state discontinues the railroad use and converts the trainbed to a trail without a fence, then it could potentially meet everyone's needs/desires.
A thought.
