Fall Line Trail project breaks ground on 5-mile Hanover segment - Richmond BizSense

Nice to see progress on the Fall Line Trail.  This is a great project and I'd love to see a spider web of trails crisscrossing greater Richmond.  As someone who has lived in multiple places that have such systems, the benefits they created cannot be overstated.  Hopefully the whole system comes online before the proposed 2030 completion.

Cap trail really showed how beneficial it is for our community as well as how financially profitable it has been. I can't remember the exact numbers, but I remember hearing that it benefitted just the bike community by six figures - this was pre Covid so  I assume it's in the 7 figures easily now.

It's what got me into biking...and over $10k in bikes, parts, events, etc. later I'm still going strong!
