Dannielle Glaros brought it to my attention that EYA (or whoever now owns the Arts District Development Project) has gone ahead and built their portion of the bike trail). I took a look today, and here (attached) is a photo of its start. This is taken behind Busboys & Poets/Yes Organic Market right next to the tracks. Behind me is the yet-to-be developed portion of the trail south to Franklin's and Ch. Armentrout Rd/Northwest Branch Bike Trai. The newly-paved portion runs up to just shy of Madison St. MNCPPC will be building the segments south and north of this EYA section beginning in April, according to Dannielle. I guess it will run up to the Cafritz property line, so we'll face an undeveloped last segment of the trail until such time that Cafritz goes ahead and builds that.<br>
<br>I also noticed that they've built 45th Ave out to Madison, so we can now drive, ride, or walk to the new shops without treading on the dreaded Route 1!! Yeah!!!<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><br>
