Collaborative Trail and Greenways Plan: Enhancing Connectivity and Accessibility for Communities

The collaborative public process for the Trail and Greenways Plan focuses on expanding connectivity across the Towns of West Terre Haute, Seelyville, and Riley. Through online surveys, meetings, and workshops, over 400 community responses have shaped the plan's goals: improving accessibility, serving transportation needs, and integrating with public transit. Key projects to enhance trail connectivity include various extensions and new paths to link educational institutions and neighborhoods, addressing both current needs and future growth. Total project costs are projected at $34.4 million by 2035.
