Shenandoah Rail Trail meetings move locations

The Shenandoah Rail Trail announced that the Front Royal meeting has been moved to the  Front Royal Fire Hall on Commerce Avenue.

The series of meetings are to inform the public of the progress of turning the abandon railroad  tracks into a 48 mile long walking, hiking and biking trail from Broadway to Front Royal.

The  Strasburg meeting Mar. 16 was moved from the Town Council Chambers to Strasburg High School’s cafeteria.

The meeting locations have been moved due to the number of people that have shown up at previous meetings.

Citizens both for and against the project have come out in overwhelming numbers with crowds getting larger at each meeting.

A virtual meeting is scheduled for Apr. 4 with links and registration information found here.

The meetings are to not only inform the public of the progress of the project but to show maps and ideas on the plan.

The Mar. 23 meeting is the latest to be moved to a larger location from Samuel’s Public Library to the Front Royal Fire Hall to accommodate the anticipated crowd at 7 p.m.

Woodstock’s Apr. 6 meeting is now going to be held at Central High School’s cafeteria at 6 p.m.

Toms Brook will hold a meeting at the Fire Hall Apr. 10 at 7 p.m.
