From the meeting
On October 12, 2026, Chief Deputy Engineer M. Gavelek reported that an RFP had been issued for the downtown arts and culture trail connecting the Healthy Living Campus to downtown. The project may be phased, with a first phase widening the sidewalk on the east side of Calumet Avenue and a second phase connecting downtown to the Healthy Living Campus.
Proposals were expected at the November Redevelopment Commission meeting because it is a TIF project. Council also noted a $90,000 grant called First Things First for early childhood education that could complement the trail idea.
