During its fi rst 8 months following <br />opening, over 120,000 trips were recorded at a single count site, as the trail has become a signifi cant <br />aƩ racƟ on for new development and serves as a lure for future investment. <br />• In addiƟ on to the LINK trail, completed projects in 2025 included the fi rst phase of the Ewing Trail, <br />Mishawaka Avenue protected bike lanes, and the Wall Street shared use path. These projects add <br />approximately 2.25 miles of off -street routes to the bicycle network. <br />LINK Trail South Bend Avenue <br />AcƟ ve TransportaƟ on Plan <br />LaSalle Park Neighborhood Plan <br />In November, the LaSalle Park Neighborhood Plan draŌ document was shared at 2 open houses. <br />AƩ endees heard about core plan projects and other improvements planned for the neighborhood <br />that add aff ordable housing, improve walkability, and enhance parkland.
