Rails to Trails?

A Canadian Pacific locomotive somewhere in Canada.

The Canadian Pacific Railway used to run trains between Sicamous and Armstrong.
 
But the tracks have been unused for the last year.
 
Now Canadian Pacific wants to sell the property, but the municipalities along the way want to protect it for future use as a park or transportation corridor.
 
CHBC News wants to know what you think.
 
Do you think abandoned railway lines should revert back to the community?

Editor's Note:  Ask a stupid question and you'll get a stupid answer.
 
Now, here's my stupid question... for all of you who voted "Yes", do you expect CP to just give it away for free, or would you like to buy the line with an increase in your taxes?
