Originally announced over four years ago, the rails-to-trails project would replace the former elevated tracks of the Norfolk Southern Railway that cut through the neighborhood. Efforts are being led by local nonprofit Grow Greater Englewood and the city."

A potential new timeline has been announced for the upcoming Englewood Nature Trail cutting through Englewood.
