Have you ever wondered about the abandoned elevated ‘L’ line that cuts across Bronzeville? The Bronzeville Trail Task Force is working on repurposing the Kenwood ‘L’ into an elevated community park and trail!

We want to hear from you! Join us for a community walk along the existing embankment, learn more about the Bronzeville Trail project, and share your thoughts. You are welcome to join us for any or all three of the walks that make up the full length of the Bronzeville Trail. We will have a brief introduction at each meeting location/starting time. This event is FREE and open to the public.
