Could be a huge boon for English Ave.

I've always wondered if a transit or ped/bike corridor could be created here. I think it would be a missed opportunity long term for this not to be given serious consideration.
Edit: based on the map you posted in post #282 above, much of the corridor appears to be designated as green space.
The section from Joseph E. Boone up to just north of Donald Lee Hollowell is all owned by one private developer, Bethursday Development Corp. (FKA English Avenue Development Corporation).

At Western Avenue, there is an apartment complex built in the middle of the right of way, but it looks like nothing has been built blocking any of the rest of it.
The remaining part, with the exception of a block north of Hollowell, is all still owned by CSX.
