H. R. 16--"Advocating the construction of a hiking/biking trail along the Robert C. Byrd Highway (Corridor H) as it is being completed from Elkins to the West Virginia/Virginia border."
Whereas , Such a trail would be over one hundred miles long and West Virginia has no long distance hiking/biking trails; and
Whereas , Such a trail would take hikers and bikers to some of the most beautiful country that West Virginia has to offer; and

Whereas , Such a trail would increase tourism, and the revenue that comes with it, to West Virginia; and
Whereas , Such a trail would further honor West Virginia's senior senator, Senator Robert C. Byrd; therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the House of Delegates advocates the construction of a hiking/biking trail along the Robert C. Byrd Highway (Corridor H) as it is being completed from Elkins to the West Virginia/Virginia border; and, be it
Further Resolved , That the Clerk of the House of Delegates is hereby directed to forward copies of this resolution to the Governor and the West Virginia Congressional Delegation.
