The City of Gary has prepared a plan for preserving open space within the City, and linking it via a system of bike and pedestrian trails. This plan, called the Gary Green Link, is close to finalization.

The Gary Green Link Corridor, when fully implemented, will connect all parts of the City with this trail system. Some areas have already established trails (Gleason Park, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore); these trails would be linked to new trails and roads designated for biking, as well as to the precious open space that is to be protected within the City.
The Green Link has two projects currently approved for funding. Design work for the Gary Bikeways project, a congestion-reduction project, will begin next year. In 2004, the City also received the green light for a phase of the Grand Calumet River Trail, which snakes along the Grand Cal just north of Downtown Gary. This project will also begin design work in 2005.
