Looking East Along Darden Rd
My wife and I took a very nice ride from South Bend to Niles this afternoon — what a great day for it! The fall colors are in full force, and the sun was out. Seeing the progress along Darden was a nice surprise, and I’m very much looking forward to the completion of the second phase of the Riverside Trail for improved connectivity.
As Paul Taylor wrote back in July, a separated bicycle and pedestrian path is being constructed along the south side of Darden Rd from Riverside to 933. This project seems to be taking a while, but it looks like there will be a good payoff. See Paul’s post for more details about the project.
Extended Lanes on Twyckenham Dr Have Been Striped!

Looking North Just Past Monroe St
As was announced a couple of weeks ago by South Bend City Planner Chris Dressel, the bicycle lanes along Twyckenham Dr are being extended. Previously, the lanes were only between South Bend Ave and McKinley Ave, but they will now continue, albeit intermittently, all the way south to Ewing Ave.
The image at left is looking north from where E Monroe T’s into Twyckenham. A parking lane is still available on the east side of the road, but the bike lane is right up against the curb on the western side. It will be interesting to how this all ties into the development associated with the Eddy St Commons project. Details about the Twyckenham / South Bend Ave intersection can be found here.
