Greenways Manager

Between 2000 and 2010, public support for active transportation—walking, biking, and connected trails—grew rapidly across northeast Indiana. In 2005, the City of Fort Wayne took a major step forward by hiring a Greenways Manager, helping lead a more coordinated effort to expand trail connections. Working alongside NIRCC and local trail advocates, the region began embracing a regional approach to trail connectivity. Communities weren’t just building trails for recreation anymore—they were building them to connect people and places.
