RAISE grants

Munster's plan to scale back a proposed Ridge Road project drew opposition during Monday's town council meeting.

Progress continues to be made toward a continuous bike trail from Chicago to Michigan, but challenges remain.

A proposal to put part of Ridge Road on a "diet" has drawn concern in recent years, but the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission's active transportation planner is urging the town of Munster not to back out now.

Ridge Road in Munster is getting a "road diet" in the coming years, but exactly what it'll look like still remains to be seen.

Munster's efforts to make Ridge Road more friendly to people and bikes are getting a boost. The town was awarded more than 17 million dollars in the latest round of Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability & Equity (RAISE) grants announced by the U.S. Department of Transportation Thursday.
