Status: Planned
Counties: Allen
Endpoints: NORTH: Allen County line; SOUTH: I-69
Cities: Fort Wayne
Length: 8 miles or more
Description: The future
trail corridor lies centered between State Road 3/Lima Road and Coldwater road,
passing along the east side of the Salomon Farm Park and Parkview YMCA. Northwest
Allen Trails, Inc. had just barely been incorporated in 2004 when it received
a $300,000 grant from DNR and INDOT to purchase several miles this abandoned
rail corridor in the rapidly developing northern suburbs. The line
would connect an elementary school, the YMCA, parkland and several neighborhoods.
Also being examined is the former Grand Rapids and Indiana line (GRI)
between I-69 and Hunterstown.
