FOLLOW UP REGARDING 'GREENWAYS OF GREENWOOD' 5K  RUN/WALK 
The Trails Advocacy Board was proud to be a “trail builder” level sponsor  
for the Oct 27th event, and we provided a number of volunteers—but  the event 
belongs to its three primary stakeholders—The Greenwood Parks and  Recreation 
Department, Performance Chiropractic (who conceived of the event and  was, and 
will continue to be, its title sponsor), and Carpe Vita who was the  
professional run/walk organizer.  These words from the Carpe Vita website sum up the 
positive results of  this debut event of a newly-minted annual series, the “
Greenways of Greenwood”  run/walk. 
“… After teaming and planning of over 6 months with Performance  
Chiropractic, the event was able to successfully attract 150 participants and  raise over 
$2,000 for trail development in the Greenwood Area. Carpe Vita's  executive 
director Josh Kendall was thrilled to be a part of the event. ‘We were  
thrilled for our first event to be so successful and to have such an impact.’ "

CONSTRUCTION UPDATES: 
LOCAL: Work by the Parks Department in applying pressure to the  developers 
of Timber Ridge, resulted in the developer finally living up to his  legal 
obligation to the citizens of Greenwood.   Recently a fifth of a mile  multi-use 
trail was completed across private land and along Fry Road, connecting  the 
Timber Ridge residents to the Northwest Park trail system.  And for the rest of 
you--the next time  you are in that park, branch out a bit and head eastward to 
check out the new  connection. 
REGIONAL:  Downtown Indianapolis’ multi-use Cultural Trail is  finally 
starting to take place—with its first segment’s construction nearing  completion.  
The Cultural Trail is  the first such project in the nation and is getting a 
lot of attention for its  innovative approach in providing separated routing 
for cars, pedestrians and  cyclists…each having their own “lanes”.  If you find 
yourself in downtown Indy, head towards the Murat Theatre and  you are sure 
see the trail.  Check  out some recent national press on the trail here:

SPECIAL DONOR  RECOGNITION: 
HAL’S FABULOUS VEGAS BAR & GRILLE – We again  thank Hal’s for its recent 
generous donation (and sponsorship of two of our  newsletters). It’s great to see 
locally owned businesses support projects for  Greenwood’s  residents and we 
encourage you to patronize such businesses.  Hal’s is just south of County 
Line Rd on  the eastside of Hwy 135.  If you’ve  not been in, it’s definitely 
worth a try. (I can personally testify it is  absolutely one of the finest 
restaurants in the area - in terms of both food and  atmosphere.)  You can check 
out  their phone number, menu, operating hours, and even see some photos of the  
inside, at: _www.halsvegas.com/_ (http://www.halsvegas.com/)   or read a
