FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – On Thursday, April 24, 2025, Fort Wayne Trails, Inc. will be presenting Mayor Sharon Tucker and the City of Fort Wayne a check for $157,000 to support the final segment of the Hanna Street Trail from Wallace to Berry streets. The completion of this .75 mile section of trail will create a continuous connection from Tillman Park to Downtown Fort Wayne. The total length of the Hanna Street Trail measures just over 4.5 miles.
“The City of Fort Wayne values its partnership with Fort Wayne Trails. We’re thankful for the organization and the many individuals in our community who provide funding to help our trails grow and succeed,” said Mayor Tucker. “The Hanna Street Trail is a critical connector that allows for recreation, exercise, access to shopping and other destinations, and enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors.”

This is the second contribution Fort Wayne Trails has made to the Hanna Street Trail corridor, with an initial $100,000 being gifted in February of 2024 as part of the Connecting 4 campaign.
