DEAR WAYNEDALE READERS,
NEW TRAIL OPENED
Mayor Graham Richard opened the West Jefferson Trail Project. The new trail links Rockhill and Swinney Parks. The trail begins in Rockhill Park and connects with the Rivergreenway in Swinney Park. Landscaping features include several varieties of tree species and perennial plants. A limestone wall was constructed to identify Rockhill Park, and historical markers were installed to reflect back when the area was part of the Wabash and Erie canals.
“We are pleased that our residents have another trail to use for walking and biking,” said Mayor Richard. “West Jefferson Boulevard serves as a gateway to downtown Fort Wayne, and the new trail enhances the area surrounding Rockhill and Swinney parks.”
Mayor Richard also announced the City will host a Greenway Summit at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 22 at Franke Park Pavilion #1, 3411 Sherman Blvd. The Summit is open to the public. Citizens interested in trails and greenways are invited to attend.
The Summit will bring together elected officials, greenway and trail advocates, and the community to discuss the current trail system and plans for how trails will be improved and added in the City.
Mayor Graham Richard
