Trails Master Plan
HWC is working with the LaGrange County Community Foundation and LaGrange County Trails to spearhead a collaborative initiative focused on the development of an extensive trail network spanning the entirety of the County. This Countywide Master Plan, steered by a dynamic community Steering Committee, is dedicated to seamlessly connecting key destinations and communities, fostering a sense of cohesion and accessibility. The Steering Committee is actively engaging in collaboration with community stakeholders to significantly improve the quality of life for LaGrange County. Furthermore, this visionary plan is strategically designed to provide safe and efficient routes for commuters, especially from the Amish community, thereby promoting a sustainable and active lifestyle for the residents of LaGrange County.

Dillsboro, IN
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
HWC led the four-month development of Dillsboro’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, designed around a primary east-west route, with the intent to fill in the missing key gaps that connects the elementary school, library, and community park. New sidewalk extensions were also proposed to serve existing and planned residential developments so that residents of all ages and abilities can choose walking or biking knowing that it is safe and convenient. The master plan was specifically prepared with a focus on realistic implementation possibilities. Nine priority projects were identified, with each addressing a particularly problematic intersection crossing, sidewalk gap, or much needed extension to serve a key destination.
This project was funded with a grant from the Indiana Department of Health’s Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity and was led by a local advisory committee.

Whitestown, IN
Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
In order to provide the quality of life amenities Whitestown’s growing population was seeking, town leaders proposed a bold vision to make the community one of the most walkable and bikeable communities in Indiana. In conjunction with the town’s thoroughfare plan update, HWC led the development of a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan for Whitestown. The plan’s recommendations outlined a series of goals to develop greenways and trails linking key destinations and neighborhoods throughout the town. The plan also outlined strategies for local programming and regional advocacy roles for the Whitestown’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
