Description
After a protracted legal process, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld the validity of the taking. Not only was the taking upheld, but the town was permitted to lease the parking lot to the Steamship authority, though the lower Appeals court did not agree. At last, Falmouth could proceed to create a bike path, four years after town meeting voted to do so. This is the first time in the history of the United States that a SJC approved using eminent domain to reassemble former railroad corridor for trails.
