Bonneville Shoreline connections

Please check out the following article and weblink and write a letter to the forest service. There are a small handful of very vocal people trying to block this trail from being finished for unfounded reasons. If you have any interest in getting this completed, write a letter, I did.
Thanks.

From an email I got:
"The forest service is interested in extending the BST from Parleys, connecting to Pipeline in Millcreek and on to Little Cottonwood and beyond. A public meeting was held
April 5. There were 60 people there and a small majority were in opposition to the trail. Input will be accepted till April 17. More input is needed!!! Please check out his website for more info and for the address to send comments."

I read an article about this in the Tribune and would love to see this trail be completed, he's the Tribune link http://www.sltrib.com/search/ci_3687579

There are a small handful of very vocal people trying to block this trail from being finished for unfounded reasons.
The reason being these people not wanting this 3 foot wide trail going through their property as I understand it to be.

They were citing reasons like:

From the tribune link:

" One of those concerned is Tatsumi Misaka, who owns five acres of raw land above his Olympus Cove home. The proposed trail would carve through its heart.
"If it's done properly it's OK," he says. "But I'd like to be able to get my fair value out of the property."
Misaka concedes one trail benefit would be fire protection."

If private property is involved, that's understandable. What isn't understandable, is when people think property value will decrease, when facts prove otherwise.
