Vandalia Trail Makes Progress in Indy in Early 2024
After several years of collaboration with supporters and local partners on the west side of Indianapolis, the White Lick Creek and Vandalia Trail Alliance announced the following exciting accomplishments and progress that have occurred along the proposed Vandalia Trail corridor (dotted line on following map) in the first half of 2024:
- • The Indianapolis Airport Authority entered into an easement with White Lick Creek and Vandalia Trail Alliance for a 1.9-mile long trail easement to route the Vandalia Trail Phase 1 along the north side of North Perimeter Road to Girls School Road.
- • [August update] 2 other small, but key, trail easements were acquired near Bridgeport Road.
- • Barkocy Surveying of Greenwood donated a thorough, detailed survey description for an oddly shaped .25-mile easement being pursued, allowing submittal of that easement for owner approval.
- • Indianapolis DPW has raised the priority of the Vandalia Trail, having published a Request for Qualifications for firms to design the entire Vandalia Trail across the west side of Indianapolis, with the objective to start the design work this fall.
- • The Vandalia Trail was added to the city's 5-year plan for complete streets and trails.
