    Rail-Trail Development: a Best Practices Report

    Rail-Trail Development: A Best Practices Report ANALYZING RAIL-TRAIL BEST PRACTICES TO INFORM THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PALOUSE-CASCADES TRAIL SCJ ALLIANCE | 429 E. Sprague Spokane, WA 99202 Rail-Trails Best Practices Report Purpose of this Report This report focuses on the issues surrounding the proposed development of the Palouse to Cascades Rail-Trail. A discussion of these issues is presented through an analysis of rail-trail development with a focus on addressing the specific issues that have been expressed in the process of moving forward with the Palouse to Cascades Trail. Rail-trail examples where similar issues have been addressed are explored, and this analysis leads to some general findings which are used to provide recommendations for addressing the issues that have come up in the discussion surrounding the Palouse to Cascades Trail. Figure 1: A rail-trail trestle. Photo Source: 26 Inch Slicks Blog About the Palouse to Cascades Rail-Trail Development The Palouse to Cascades Trail (formerly the Iron Horse/John Wayne Pioneer Trail) is a 285-mile long rail trail spanning eastern and central Washington State from the Idaho border to the Cascade Mountains (See Figure 2). Most of the route utilizes former rail bed, acquired by the state in 1980. Since then, Washington State Parks has developed most of the trail west of the Columbia River, but east of the Columbia the trail remains largely undeveloped. Surface conditions are typically leftover rail ballast, with occasional gaps and detours associated with missing, damaged or unsafe trestles, or in a few cases, private property crossings.1 Eyeing the success of similar trails – including that of the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes from Plummer Idaho to the Montana border– the State of Washington is seeking to upgrade eastern portions of the trail including surfacing and improved access.

    3/29/2020 DAMP Project - Wikipedia DAMP Project The Downrange Anti-missile Measurement Program or DAMP was an applied research project to obtain scientific data, just prior to and during re-entry, on intermediate- and intercontinental-range ballistic missiles as they returned to earth. The program was funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) under the technical direction of the Army Ordnance Missile Command (AOMC) during the period 1 January 1959 through 30 September 1963. Contents Project organization USAS American Mariner Electromagnetic Research Laboratory Data Analysis Laboratory DAMP ship characteristics DAMP ship instrumentation Radar Data recording Communications equipment Tracking Pedestals Mission Completion Further reading See also External links Project organization The downrange facility was a Liberty-class merchant vessel renovated and converted for its technical assignment. Its measurement equipment complex included C-band, L-band and UHF radars; digital and analog recorders; gyroscope stabilization; timing generators; mode switching; telemetry acquisition apparatus; radiometers and riometers; boresight cine-TV and other photographic systems; communications and Transit Satellite navigation system. As a complementary measurement facility to the DAMP ship, the Electromagnetic Research Laboratory at Moorestown, New Jersey, contained C- and L-band radar measurement equipment complete with digital and analog recording system in a range-support-tower combination for full-scale cross-section measurements under static conditions with orthogonal polarizations. Recorded analog data from this facility were provided for immediate use. Data from both measurement facilities underwent necessary processing at the Riverton, New Jersey, data reduction center, a part of the Data Analysis Laboratory.

Box 30370 • Lincoln, NE 68503-0370 • Phone 402-471-0641 October 14, 2015 Dear Outdoor Recreation Enthusiasts: Nebraskans have a deep-seated passion for the outdoors, which is evident in our great parks and outdoor recreation resources. We value our natural environment and park areas because they help sustain an excellent quality of life. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is pleased to present the 2016-2020 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan: A Guide to an Active Nebraska (SCORP). This plan provides the supply and demand of recreation in the state, issues Nebraska faces providing outdoor recreation, and recommendations on how to improve our state’s recreation infrastructure. SCORP is a guidebook for outdoor recreation providers looking to expand or improve their recreation infrastructure. Great care was taken to receive public opinion to understand the needs and desires of the public when providing for future outdoor recreation. Analysis on the current state of outdoor recreation and how it can be improved was completed as a part of this plan. Parks and outdoor recreation areas play a major role in promoting public health, livable communities, economic vitality, and conservation of our natural resources. Nebraska’s outdoor recreation resources are invaluable assets to our public and those visiting the state, and we are pleased to provide recommendations on how to protect these resources for future generations.

A Monthly Publication of the Nebraska Environmental Trust February 2020 Executive Director Corner The 2020 legislative session is about half way through the 60 day session. Fortunately Senator Brewer withdrew Legislative Resolution (LR285CA) to take the Environmental Trust funds for prison overcrowding. We appreciate his consideration of the Pete Ricketts, Governor Trust and the projects we have completed. Board of Trustees District I I want to congratulate Craig Derickson, State Conservationist of Nebraska for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Derickson recently was Jeff Kanger - Lincoln awarded the State Conservationist of the Year for 2019 by the National Association of State Conservation James Hellbusch - Columbus Agencies. The Trust has worked with Derickson and his NRCS team on many projects across the State. John Orr - Blair At the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture Seminar in Grand Island on February 6, the Trust received the Rainwater District II Basin Joint Venture 2020 Conservation Partner Stewardship Award. Around 250 landowners, agency Felix B. Davidson - Valley staff and conservationists filled the room and I was Paul Dunn - Omaha honored to accept the award from Andy Bishop. It is time for State wrestling and basketball. Hopefully Robert Krohn - Omaha you have a local team or teams coming to State and can cheer them on to victory. It appears the crown of District III collegiate men’s basketball in Nebraska goes to Creighton University. They are currently at 21-6 and Sherry Vinton - Whitman ranked 15th, and way ahead of the Huskers men’s team (7-18) and last place in the Big10.

The hard work and dedication of agency employees provided the state with enormous outdoor recreation opportunities. This report's pages reveal how the agency worked to maintain stewardship of the state's outdoor resources in the best interest of Nebraskans. From a financial standpoint, the Commission had $63,088,772 in revenue for calendar year 2006, compared to $60,178,384 in expenditures. Money was well spent by all divisions in the name of education, research, conservation, and recreation. The Wildlife Education Program and Project WILD introduced 3,215 Nebraskans to wildlife conservation and management concepts in 75 programs, while the Missouri River Expo at Ponca State Park was a huge success, seeing 18,000 visitors involved in 80 hands-on demonstrations, activities and presentations. Hunter Education trained 8,361 students in 2006, and, in the ongoing effort to look to the future, mentored youth hunting programs continued to grow.

    Cowboy Trail - Trailhead in Ta-Ha-Zouka Park (Norfolk) Cowboy Trail - Trailhead in Ta-Ha-Zouka Park (Norfolk) (imprint here) park information: Do you enjoy walking, hiking or bike riding? Are you looking for a new place to break in your roller-blades? Then you need to visit Ta-Ha-Zouka Park in Norfolk. Ta-Ha-Zouka Park is the official trailhead for the Cowboy Recreation and Nature Trail. A 2.2 mile “Connector Trail” has been constructed to bring the Cowboy Trail into the park, making access easier. Rail banking for the Cowboy Trail did not reach into Norfolk, because the rail lines are still in use for Norfolk industries. Consequently the trail stopped 1.5 miles west of Highway 81, and was not accessible to the public. In 1995, the Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District (LENRD) was asked by a local citizens group to bring the trail into Norfolk, via Ta-Ha-Zouka Park, for improved access to the trail. The LENRD cooperated with the City of Norfolk, Madison County, the Nebraska Department of Roads, the Nebraska Central Railroad, and the Elkhorn Valley Trails Network on this extension. A&R Construction of Plainview completed the Norfolk Connector Trail in the spring of 2002, and it was opened to the public on June 2, 2002. The 2.2 mile connector link is a cement trail and is 10 feet wide, making it easy to accommodate bikers, walkers, wheel chairs and roller-blades. The Cowboy Trail, linking Norfolk to Chadron, is the longest rails-to-trails conversion in the nation.

    First Edition January 2018 Horse Trails of Nebraska Ride with a Smile, A Light Hand & Gently on the Land Written and compiled by Tammy Vasa on behalf of the Nebraska Horse Trails Committee About this Publication Since the beginning of this millennium, I have been riding, writing about and promoting the horse trails of Nebraska though the Nebraska Horse Trails Committee and my own website, Horsetrailriders.com. More than just a fly-over state, Nebraska is rich history. The Pony Express, the Oregon and Mormon Trails, the Lewis and Clark expedition and home to many Native American tribes. It is not all amber waves of grain in the 37th largest state. Discover the Sandhills in north-central Nebraska and the Pine Ridge regions in the western part of our state. Climb the bluffs along the Missouri River and view the variegated fall colors. Ride through the country’s only man-made forest or you can literally follow the tracks of the covered wagons pass- ing though our state. Get off the interstate and into the saddle to see what Nebraska is really made of! This booklet has been years in the making. While it may seem like an easy project capturing all the trails in Nebraska, the Nebraska Horse Trails Committee wanted to provide more than just the name and location. Every time one of us would delve into the project, it became apparent that more research was necessary and perhaps we should ride the trails first and then report on them! We all agreed riding was much more fun.
