Earth Day on Wasson Way with Clark Montessori High School
Wasson Way thanks Clark Montessori High School for cleaning up the trail on Earth Day.
15 Volunteers from Clark, including Students and Teachers joined 3 Wasson Way leaders to clean up a winter’s worth of trash and debris along the trail from Marburg Ave. all the Way to Madison Rd.
It was a Happy Earth Day on Wasson Way.
Lighting Up The Way: WASSON WAY
Phase 2 is open!
We cut the ribbon for Phase 2. The Withrow High School marching band opened the celebration. It is so exciting to connect Evanston, Norwood, and Xavier to Hyde Park and Oakley for the first time since Interstate 71 was built 50 years ago.
Ribbon Cutting on November 9th, 2019
We officially open the second phase of the Wasson Way Trail on November 9th at 10am in Norwood. The address is 2200 Dana Avenue and parking will be located near Lexington, Elsmere, and Floral Avenue. Please join us for live music, free beverages, snacks, and prizes and bring the entire family. We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating 1.2 miles of completed trail!
Phase 2 is Moving Forward!
Phase 2 construction starts in April. This section will start at the end of Phase 1 near Tamarack Avenue, go west across I-71, reaching Montgomery Road near Xavier University. It will transform Wasson Way into a true transportation route, bridging the divide between Xavier, Norwood, Evanston, Hyde Park and Oakley created over 50 years ago by I-71.
Phase 1 of the Trail is Open
We are excited to announce that the first phase of Wasson Way is now open to the public. Our ribbon cutting event was a huge success and brought out so much community support. We want to thank everyone who attended and continues to support our vision. View the link below to get an overview of the phase 1 map and design.
