Traverse City officials, a few local cycling groups, and TART Trails volunteers celebrated a revamped stretch of the TART Trails system in downtown Traverse City.
The new segment is just east of Clinch Park, where the event took place.
IPR’s Claire Keenan-Kurgan went to the ribbon cutting, and has this audio postcard.

This phase of trail development cost around $1.2 million and was built by contractor Team Elmer's. The money came from a Revitalization and Placemaking (RAP) Grant, Traverse City's municipal budget, DDA TIF 97 funds, and TART Trails funds.
