#AroundIndy - Recreational Trail Programs are in the planning or construction phases all over the country. Eventually, many of these trails will be a relevant means of transportation and an opportunity for new businesses to settle along these trails. The Pennsy Trail on the east side of Indianapolis travels by several new businesses, a restaurant-pub that’s under construction called “Bonna Station” and by some blighted areas of town. Marketing will play an important role in sustaining the existing businesses, attracting new business owners and transforming abandoned or neglected properties back into operation. Security will also play an important role with trails. The Greenfield, Indiana section of the Pennsy Trail has emergency call boxes every mile on the rural portion of the trail. Photos are from the section of the Pennsy Trail that travel thru the historic Irvington neighborhood in #Indy between Shortridge and Ritter.
