You may recognize this picture from earlier.  It is an example of a reclaimed railroad bed used for pathways on the Monon Trail.  The Monon Trail is one of the 14 greenways within the 175 mile Indy Greenways System located in Marion County, Indiana.  This greenway system encompasses rivers, streams, old railroad corridors and a 19th century canal towpath.  The Indy Greenways System links neighborhoods with 12,000 acres of open spaces, parks, and conservation greenspaces.  This greenway is a prime example of the benefits a city can gain after long hours of negotiation and compromises when city and citizens work together.
