Lower Cascades Park: City to reopen road to vehicles after upgrades

But repairs, improvements will happen first
The Herald-Times
The city plans to reopen the road through Lower Cascades Park that had been closed to vehicle traffic for a pilot project, after critics said the closure prevented people with mobility issues from accessing the park’s most beautiful areas.
“Reopening Old State Road 37 … made the most sense at this time,” Bloomington Public Works Director Adam Wason told the public works board this week.
The city in March of last year converted a 0.6-mile segment of North Old Ind. 37 to a bicycle and pedestrian trail as part of a pilot project. An engineering firm hired by the city parks department provided three potential options for a bike/ped path in 2019, though it recommended against a full road closure, in part because that option was opposed by the public, emergency services and even park staff.
