I drive past the different trails frequently and rarely see them used.

A shame to significantly change folks' property and the general landscape for something so few people actually benefit from.

I would point out that more pavement and fewer trees (you knew they would be removing trees for the trails, right?) leads to increased temperatures and less habitat for wildlife.

Now the county is committed to providing mowing, landscaping, and repaving for hundreds of miles of trails--forever.

Was this really worth raising property taxes just now on the backs of already stretched Volusia residents?
