PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • December 12, 2022
Trails are great, people can go out and get some fresh air and exercise. But if someone is older or just not inclined to walk or bike for miles, they are not served by the trail. If there were passenger rail service to Augusta, Rockland and/or Bangor, as there is to Boston, we would consider visiting those cities. Mass transit is a needed piece of fighting climate change, and while our country is desperately behind other parts of the world, we can and should catch up. Let’s not start by tearing up existing infrastructure to support one small segment of the population. ~ Mat Poland, Saco
