Round the Ripple by Bill Malcolm
posted: Oct. 11, 2013
There's a lot of news in the Ripple:
Fall Creek trail extension off Monon Trail delayed until spring
The Fall Creek Trail extension - which runs from Central Avenue west to the Monon Trail --is scheduled to be completed in the spring. The trail has gravel on it now but work appears to have halted. In any event, this will give bike riders another option in heading downtown. Relatedly, the new North Skiles Test Park to Fort Harrison State Park is scheduled to be completed this fall.
Marott Park gets new path along College Avenue
Have you driven, biked or walked up College near 75th Street lately? As you know, the sidewalk ends if you are on the east side of the street. Good news! A new multi-use path is under construction along Marrott Park. It will be about 10 feet wide and is scheduled for completion by mid-November.
