Trail Town Bexley

The City of Bexley is exploring becoming a Trail Town. This title indicates trail and bicycle friendliness, sustainable practices, and effective connections between trail and town that benefit the community in health, recreation, and economic development.

Our beautiful City of Bexley is fortunate to be situated along the Alum Creek Trail that runs from Three Creeks Metro Park up to Westerville near Polaris. We are also situated nearby to the Ohio-Erie Trail. With the region moving forward in expanding our trail networks through Central Ohio Greenways, and with the intended creation of the nation’s largest interconnected trail and park system through the RAPID 5 project, our community has many unique opportunities to improve our connections to the trail, become more bike-friendly, and drive economic development.

Trail Town Assessment

Saturday, July 9 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Including Optional Conversation at 12:00 pm

Join us in this fun outdoor walk and/or bike through Bexley and the Alum Creek Trail. We will be in groups and will assess our community and trail on a variety of criteria relating to a Trail Town. Your assistance and input in this event will help us in our efforts to make a more bicycle-friendly Bexley and enhance our connections to an established trail. We're interested in your observations and insights as we seek to improve accessibility throughout the City and in central Ohio. Your experiences as a frequent or new trail user, resident, or patron of Bexley businesses will be valuable as we move through this process. This event is free and open to the public!

We will meet at Bexley City Hall at 10:00 am, briefly introduce the assessment, and then head out in groups on foot or by bicycle to make our observations. We will then meet back at City Hall at 12:00 noon for refreshments and conversation where we will discuss our findings. We look forward to meeting you and to our conversation as a community!

If you are interested in participating, we ask that you RSVP by clicking here. If you have questions about this program, or the event on Saturday, July 9, please email Marcus at mduemmel@bexley.org. We hope to see you there!

Bike Enthusiasts in Action

Visitors are already coming to Bexley along the Alum Creek Trail!

We recently ran into a friendly couple who traveled from Indiana to take a ride from Franklin Park down to Three Creeks Metro Park. Emphasizing our trail connections as a community and building bike-friendly infrastructure will continue to draw trail-users, encourage them to spend time in Bexley, and attract them to our wonderful local businesses.

Welcome to Bexley!
