The park district is proud to offer a bikepath winding through Lansing, extending from the Illinois/Indiana state line to the southern village limit of Calumet City. The Pennsy Greenway is part of the 475-mile Grand Illinois Trail. When proposed, the park district outlined many wonderful reasons for adding a bike path to the Lansing park system: **Maximize non-motorized access for all residents to the Pennsy Greenway and the expanding regional trail network in the Chicago Southland and Northwest Indiana **Improve the safety of streets within the Lansing community for all users **Provide a convenient network that accommodates the range of bicycle use in the Lansing community – for recreation, exercise, and transportation **Encourage bicycling as a choice for active living and an inexpensive, non-polluting, and convenient option for local trips.
