This KSQD radio series of 4 episodes explores the real story with the real people who made the Santa Cruz County rail & trail project happen. With just a germ of an idea, County employees, elected officials, nonprofits, and volunteers slogged through years of opposition by an extreme minority of landowners to keep the project on the rails (so to speak!). Supported by housing equity advocates, environmentalists, cycling enthusiasts, and commuters alike, the project has been continually stalled and threatened by the actions of a select few.
