Pennsy Greenway

Plans to connect Dyer to the Region's bike trail network continue moving forward.

Funding has been allocated to connect Dyer to the Region's bike trail network. The Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) has funded a spur connecting the Pennsy Greenway in Schererville to Central Park in Dyer, in the coming years.

Schererville's bike trail network continues to grow. The town and its partners cut the ribbon Wednesday on a 2.3-mile extension of the Pennsy Greenway Trail, although the finishing touches are expected to continue into June. The project extends the trail from Rohrman Park southeast to Clark Road, thanks, in part, to a $2.9 million Next Level Trails grant from the state.

Efforts to build a continuous bike trail from Chicago to Michigan are facing some challenges. The Marquette Greenway Trail got a major infusion of funding last year through the federal RAISE program and the state READI program.
