As reported in today's Palladium-Item, the Cardinal Greenway has received a $900,000 grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources:

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources will distribute the money to 28 projects, resulting in 104 miles of new trails and land being bought for an anticipated 26 miles of future trail development. Currently the state trail system covers about 400 miles.

Two local projects get a big boost through the state money. The Cardinal Greenway in northwest Wayne County receives $900,000 and Whitewater Canal Trails near Metamora $300,000.

Recreational cyclists in Richmond now have a new online resource to organize their rides and events. Earlier this week long time rider Pat Williams launched the Richmond Cycling Google group, which members can use as an e-mail list, while also easily jointly creating web pages and sharing files and photos.

Pat had previously coordinated an e-mail list of about 50 recreational riders. Members of the group often gather for rides on Tuesday and Thursday evenings as well as weekend rides. See the new Richmond Cycling site for details.

This group complements the existing Bike Richmond group which focuses on bikes as transportation and also uses Google Groups.

As a part of my work on the committees that are implementing the Comprehensive Plan that Richmond recently developed, I created a list (with some help from Mark) of some transportation goals that have a focus on alternative transportation (read: goals that don't celebrate car culture).
