Marquette Greenway

Efforts to connect new Buffalo and Chicago with a 60-mile bike trail will continue to see progress this year. An update on the Marquette Greenway was given during a virtual “Northwest Indiana Green Drinks” event Thursday.

Two public meetings are planned this month in New Buffalo to give updates on the Michigan section of the Marquette Greenway, which will eventually connect southwest Michigan to Chicago with a 60-mile, fully paved bike trail.

Efforts to build a continuous bike trail from Chicago to Michigan continue to move forward. The remaining gaps in the 60-mile Marquette Greenway Trail are being filled one piece at a time, thanks to an infusion of state and federal funding.
