Re: My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch

Encroachment is fine and tolerable since the line is abandoned (dormant would be a better term), but the City doesn't need to use eminent domain anyway since any encroachment was illegal to begin with. If anything they can charge the "encroacher" for the cost of any necessary demolition. If they leased any parts of the ROW (the bus company near Atlantic comes to mind), they need not to renew the lease and have them vacate once it expires. A Right Of Way means exactly that, a RIGHT of Way for something of public benefit such as transportation or even the proposed trailway.
