Rail Use Advisory Council – 2022

After a 7-month review of potential rail and non-rail uses for the Mountain Division rail corridor from Standish to Fryeburg, the 12-member Mountain Division Rail Use Advisory Council voted
11-1 to recommend the interim conversion of 31 miles of the existing railroad track to an interim 10’-wide paved bicycle and pedestrian trail. The committee further recommends that snowmobiles should remain an allowable use, under annual agreement with MaineDOT, within the corridor. The committee did not support expanding allowable uses to include ATVs or other motorized recreational vehicles.
