INDIANAPOLIS — An expansion to a popular trail in downtown Indy seeks to better connect the near northwest side to the rest of the city.
It also will highlight the contributions and achievements of the Black community here in Indianapolis.It will connect the trail to the Madam Walker Legacy Center on Indiana Avenue and continue north to 10th Street.“I can take it to my gym. I can take it to my place of employment. I can take it to a lot of places in the city. It just helps that mode of transportation and modality is nice and easy and efficient," Vanatti said.And this week, even more people will have access.
“You can connect now, seamlessly and safely to Riverside Park, with the Fall Creek Greenway you can get up to the Fall Creek neighborhood and everything beyond. Thinking about not only Riverside Park but also Marian University, all the places on our near north side will be connected to our city and to the trail with this expansion," Indianapolis Cultural Trail Executive Director Kären Haley said.
“One will focus on the Black Lives Matter mural that was here in 2020. One will focus on the Madame Walker Legacy Center. One will focus on the history and significance of Indiana Avenue. The last one will be about Lockfield Gardens," she said.An additional segment along South Street will open later this year.
