A cycle track through downtown Warsaw

WARSAW — If selected as a Stellar Community, one of Warsaw’s Stellar plans would be to create a cycle track through downtown Warsaw that will connect the community with a world class biking and walking trail.

The community has experienced amazing trail growth in the past, and those trails connect amazing assets. The area’s natural beauty is highlighted, along with core neighborhoods, schools, parks and destinations. Now, there is an opportunity to link all of it together through a downtown connection. This opportunity will bring together the amazing growth of Downtown Warsaw and The Village at Winona in a way that is more than the sum of its parts. This connection, will truly be Stellar.

The goals are to complete the main 7.4 mile trail route connection our community, connect all of the major trails, provide transportation options for residents, create a safe, family friendly trail route to and through downtown, maintain the same level of access for downtown residents, visitors, and businesses, increase downtown property value and drive economic growth and to build quality of life assets that encourage more downtown residents and businesses.
