Bravo!
I don’t begrudge any of these trails their funding, but how about a little love for some south side trails?
This includes design and engineering funds for the Interurban Trail from Old Southside to County Line Road. This makes it significantly more eligible for Federal and State funds.
I’m in Irvington, so many of these projects are in my backyard! But you’re right: The southside needs more. Greenwood is doing a good job though.
The north side abandoned right of way of former rail lines. South side lines are mainly still active so you’d likely have to acquire a lot more property from different owners to get a trail going, or use existing right of way along roads.
I think getting some traffic calming on Madison would be something worth studying. There’s already a (crappy) bike lane there, and Greenwood has a nice bi-direction bike lane going into their downtown. Install traffic calming including such as a median with street trees would be good to help calm traffic, maybe some raised crosswalks as you get closer to Greenwood, and paved pathways instead of sidewalks.
A map graphic or link would be welcome.
