As shown on the map, a few segments are needed to complete this trail system. The preliminary estimated cost to construct 5 miles in Indiana and 6 miles in Michigan is $5 million. (This estimate does not include factors such as acquisition, road crossing treatments, sensitive environmental features and site conditions.)
The completed trail would be used by commuters, students, families and tourists. The trail would connect people to:
- 4 universities and several schools
- 4 downtowns (Niles, Roseland, South Bend and Mishawaka)
- 16 parks and 2 YMCAs
- 5 hospitals or major medical facilities
- Several historical and cultural attractions
- Businesses offering eating, lodging and shopping
