A bike trail connecting Chicago's southern suburbs could be extended to Northwest Indiana. The Old Plank Road Trail currently runs from Joliet to Chicago Heights, but Mitch Barloga with the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission says a feasibility study to extend it eastward is about to get underway.

It could be possible to ride on a continuous bike trail from Chicago to New Buffalo within the next five years. After years of planning, the Marquette Greenway Trail recently got more than $20 million from the federal RAISE program and the state READI program.
