[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The university worked to scuttle the entire trail.[/quote] I don't believe that's true. [/quote] They did. Behind the scenes they were very forceful with DDOT. They threatened to sue to block the trail, even if it was routed away from their campus. They've also been strong advocates of complete demolition of the Foundry Branch bridge, which would ensure that a trail never went through there. They know that if part of the trail is built there will always be pressure to extend it to or near their campus so they want to kill it in the cradle. They've been playing this game where in their public statements they insists that they only care about where the trail touches their campus but behind the scenes they've been working to block it.
