OHIO RIVER GREENWAY RIBBON CUTTING

This morning the Ohio River Greenway project phase from 18th Street to Silver Creek was officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

I first discussed this phase of the Greenway back in January when our unseasonably warm temperatures sent me on a journey to explore it, I detailed it in my weekly column.

GREENWAY PROJECT IN FULL SWING

Several dignitaries were on hand including Mayor Gahan and much of his staff, a single city councilman and one county councilman.  Several business leaders were also present each wearing One Southern Indiana Ambassador pins.

The path that extends from the cut in the floodwall at 18th street all the way to the deserted railroad bridge that crosses Silver Creek and into Clarksville.  Eventually the path will connect the communities of Clarkville, Jeffersonville and New Albany and eventually to Louisville via the Big Four Bridge and maybe someday the K & I Bridge.

I look forward to the day when this sign can be taken down.
