I have never lived in SDS but know a few people who do and they don't object at all to people using the rail bed or trail.It's an ugly chain link fence that they object to,and rightfully so.
If R2B thinks compromise is the answere,let the stae compromise and drop their demand for a fence.

Yes, this is the basic issue behind the opposition. Not only is the fence itself ugly, if you look at some of the existing WOW trail, many portions of the fence are already in disrepair and/or have all kinds of debris caught in the fence.
The WOW trail has a nice concept in spirit, but the implementation of the concept is causing a multi-mile long eyesore all along portions of Lakes Region waterfront.
