Ladies and Gentlemen, I have lived in the Lake Victor area for 27 years and when I was a child we lived on 200 and also on 963. I am familiar with the railroad tracks that have been lying still for all of these years. I also lived on 244 acres off of CR 201 for 10 years. The line runs right through that property at 1818 CR 201. I would not like to see this ROW and track restored because of the dust, noise, and traffic it will bring with it. Not to mention all of the restoration it will take. This ROW is listed on the deeds of the land owners whose land the tracks run through so I’m sure it’s quite a shock to them to see it come back to life. I know for a fact this track is in very bad condition and will require much reconstruction. Why would we even begin to want a private company destroying the peace and tranquility we enjoy out in the country? And for no gain of revenue to the county or the citizens of Burnet? It’s just not a good idea to open this line back up. Cathodic easements would have to be secured and many lands torn up by heavy equipment. Wildlife will be disrupted and the amount of dust will be unbearable. Have you ever lived near “the tracks”? It’s not a pleasant thing. It’s loud and annoying. Peace and quiet is why most of us live out in the county, so I see this as a direct blow to our way of life out here. Thank you for your time. Mrs Howington Burnet County Road 202
