<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Kathy,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Middleton we have a section of our new rail trail that shares an entrance to one of our elementary schools for about 500 feet: <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/Jt1G8M4N5VvPMSSL8">https://goo.gl/maps/Jt1G8M4N5VvPMSSL8</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Do any of you have rail trails/bike trails that co-exist with driveways? So not bike lanes along roads, but bike paths that get regular, if minimal, vehicular use? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Do any of you maintain rail trails or separate bike paths in winter?<o:p></o:p></p>
