Summary
Mayor Scott Faddis said Fishers installed the historic Belfort Bridge on the new Geist Greenway and added parking and amenities to improve access to the Nickel Plate Trail; officials also plan an interactive trail dashboard and new public art.
Mayor Scott Faddis said Fishers installed a historic Belfort Bridge along the new Geist Greenway and that the bridge will provide a safe crossing over Fall Creek at Geist Park beginning next year.
Faddis said the bridge was originally built in 1869 in Seymour, Indiana, and was placed this summer as part of the city's expanding trail network. He also said Public Works completed a new parking lot at the Nickel Plate Trailhead off 106th Street to make trail access easier near Chaney Creek.
The mayor announced additional trail improvements planned for the fall, including the launch of an interactive trail dashboard and new public art installations along the Nickel Plate Trail. City officials framed the upgrades as part of a broader effort to improve connectivity and recreation amenities for residents.
The announcements were part of a quarterly update from Mayor Scott Faddis; no formal vote or funding action was recorded in the recap.
