COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Columbus City Council met this week and authorized the redevelopment commission to spend $683,471.75 from the Certified Technology Park Fund to build the last part of the city’s People Trail system.
The extension will stretch to the Lafayette Avenue site of the future urban grocery and then to the riverfront where it will meet up with the existing People Trail.
At the urban-grocery site, there will be a plaza and gateway. Historical monuments will line the new portion of the 1821 Bicentennial Trail, which commemorates the city’s 200th anniversary. Limestone blocks from Noblitt Park will be used in the design.
The expansion will complete the People Trail system in accordance with Envision Columbus.
