   The section of rail line undergoing abandonment by CSX Transportation and the section of rail line directly north of on the Old Mainline Branch Valuation Station 9195+50 to the Flint River at Grand Traverse in Flint, Michigan has been identified in the 2007 Genesee County Regional Trail Plan as one of the top priorities for new trail construction in Genesee County. An informal trail advocacy group, the Genesee Regional Trail Council, with staff support supplied by the Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission (GCMPC), is working towards building this section of trail with the support of local governments, the Michigan Department of Transportation, Genesee County Land Bank, Genesee County Parks and Recreation, the Friends of the Flint River Trail, Stockton Center at Spring Grove, and many other groups and individuals. We have contacted CSX Transportation in Jacksonville, Florida and will be sending a letter of interest in purchasing this rail line in later this year. To find out more information on the Trail Plan and the Genesee Regional Trail Council please visit the Genesee County Planning Commission’s website at www.gcmpc.org and click on the Transportation page. A portion of the section of rail line undergoing abandonment is also shown as owned by the Genesee County Land Bank by their records. CSX Transportation has been contacted by the Land Bank and GCMPC about this conflict of ownership. This property can be viewed by an interactive map from the Land Bank website at www.thlandbank.org . Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions on this matter at Heidi Peterson, Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission, 1101 Beach St, Room 223, Flint, MI 48502 or (810) 257-3010. Thank you for your consideration of our local interests in this matter. Attached are two maps showing the potential trail connection.
