Although the problems on Train Avenue persist and has been mostly unchanged since its birth 120 years ago, there has been several attempts to change the culture of being a go-to place for illegal dumping and other acts of violence towards people, animals and the environment.
From the Train Avenue Greenway Plan concept – which would have turned the road into a recreational path for bikers, runners and walkers, connecting to the trail system; to the Red Line Greenway Plan – an all-purpose rails-to-trails vision linking westside neighborhoods together (completed in May 2021), which butts up against Train Avenue. Bottom line – Train Avenue and its surrounding areas are worthy of re-investment.
