Manhattan has the High Line.

Poughkeepsie has The Walkway Over the Hudson.

The City of Beacon has the Beacon Line.

The Beacon Line Project is a long term advocacy group centered on finding ways to use this relic of Beacon's industrial past. Whether light rail, trolley, hiking, biking, alone or in combination, the Beacon Line Project aims to draw attention to the line and potential plans for its use and to keep the drum beat alive until one vision or another is realized.

Click on the tabs below, each one a link to an outline of an idea for the Beacon Line's potential use. Which vision should dominate?

Contact us at the Beacon Line Project to submit your own ideas or to contribute in other ways to the worthy cause. The only vision that is not acceptable is the current status quo: that a potent transportation alternative, owned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority no less, should run right through our city, and simply lie fallow.
