Note that a shopping center was noted near the intersection of Route 119 and Townsend Road, some distance east of Townsend Harbor. The Webmaster advocates that a connecting trail be built to connect the trail to this shopping center, so that trail users can reach the grocery store and food services normally available at such places. Indeed, the trail entrance to the shopping center should be located so that an otherwise rarely used portion of the parking lot can be used for trail parking purposes. When finished, the shopping center management must also encourage shopping center employees and customers to travel over the finished rail-trail. Employees must likewise be encouraged to use the trail for relaxation and exercise purposes during their work breaks.
