MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • March 3, 2024
The creation of the Maine Trails Bond, L.D. 1156, deserves to be approved. A landmark investment in our trails can boost economic activity statewide (and in rural areas where it is particularly needed), attracting residents and tourists alike; supporting environmental and climate goals by protecting valuable swaths of our coasts, mountains and woodlands and promoting transit by many means other than car or truck; and making a meaningful contribution to public health by inviting people to get out in the air and get moving – year-round.
