WP:URFA/2020 review

Hi talk page watchers, I am reviewing this article for WP:URFA/2020, an initiative to review Wikipedia's oldest articles to determine if they still meet the featured article criteria. In reviewing this article, I noticed that there is no post-2012 history about this trail. Is anyone interested in updating this article? Z1720 (talk) 03:45, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can look into it, though I don't have any background with the article, by at least finding a few sources. In 2013, a $200,000 grant was awarded to the Open Space Institute to work on the trail, presumably regarding the cave-in damage, though no news found yet about if work was completed [1]. I assume it was, because there's plenty of routine local news in the years following. Emergency resurfacing repairs were done in July of 2014 as indicated here [2] and at the Hudson Valley Times though the latter link is literally 2 sentences. There is one news item from last year, 2023, stating that an extension to connect it with the Walkway over the Hudson and other associated trails is planned [3].

I've begun updating the article with newer references, including some of those. The one on the 2013 grant was for the Wallkill Valley trail though, and not the Walden-Wallkill trail. The only mention of the WW trail is that there are longstanding plans to connect the trails. Will add more references and do some further cleanup tonight.
