  states, however, are lucky if they have but ten of them. Let us know whether or not
  you have good access to decent rail trails. Or do you think there are already plenty
  (or too many) rail trails in your region? It has become a public good vs. adjacent-
  property-owner debate in many locales. (Poll posted 3/20/01)
