This thread, like most of FLL's topics, is filled with conjecture and various misunderstandings.
South Down Shores does not oppose the WOW trail, but there is a very strong desire to route the trail in a manner that allows it to fulfill the original spirit of the concept without creating a security risk or major eyesore to the residents and owners of SDS.
There certainly has not been a "my way or the highway" attitude as FLL insinuated in his first post. The WOW project is also very different from the converted tracks in MA where the trains no longer run and an abandoned track was converted into a walking path. There are certainly similarities, I am not arguing that point, but it's far from a 1-1 case study.
As a South Down resident and someone was has been "aware" of this upcoming issue for some time now I don't see the value in debating this topic much more here, but I do know that mutually beneficial compromises are available.
