DESCRIPTION:

The Marquette Greenway is a regional trail initiative that plans to link Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan by multi‐use trails. The INDU portion of the Marquette Greenway currently exists as a gravel trail on the ballast of a former railroad right of way. This project will formalize the trail as a ten‐foot‐wide asphalt with two‐foot gravel shoulder on each side for a multi‐use trail completing nearly two and a half miles of the Marquette Greenway. The project will also formalize spur connections to the Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education parking area (western terminus) at 100 N. Lake St. as well as the parking area at West Beach and County Line Road (eastern terminus). The project will also remove the existing (8‐foot wide) Grand Blvd pedestrian bridge and replace with a new prefabricated multi‐use (10‐foot wide) bridge.
