The growth of the trail system is one of Mayor Tom Henry’s top priorities in an effort to help Fort Wayne be the healthiest city possible and position the community for new jobs and talent attraction and retention.
This winter, trail users are reminded to be careful after snow and ice events, especially on bridges and boardwalks.
