All over town there are railroad tracks which are no longer in use. We should eliminate the ones which are no longer in use, particularly where they cross streets. Main Avenue, just east of 25th Street comes to mind. Right next to Simonson's there's a line which crosses Main Avenue from North to South. I don't recall the last time I saw a train crossing Main Avenue. In places where dormant tracks are removed, the lines should be redeveloped as bike paths, as suggested by mgraalum in another thread.
