The Wakefield rail was in danger of the same thing until it turned over to recreational corridor. There's a lot of cottage owners who would benefit from slowly assuming an unused right of way that's runs between their cottages and the water front.

You can't slowly assume it unless the public authority lets you, tacitly or otherwise. There are solutions to such "assumption".
I still think the city should have stuck it to the back-lane appropriators.
