BRVA public meeting shows possible new trail
by Alan Hague
posted: Apr. 27, 2018

Attendance was close to 100 at the April public meeting of the Broad Ripple Village Association (BRVA). The meeting was held at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. BRVA president Joshua John ran the meeting. A major item discussed was the possibility of two large grants that could allow for an expansion of the proposed Riverwalk project (Riverwalk story, connecting BR Park to Monon Trail, in next BR Gazette). One proposal is to build a pedestrian bridge across the White River at 64th Street (where the car bridge was a long time ago) connection the trail to Marott Park.
