Mercy Trails
About the Project
The Mercy project was to be a set of trails that could cater to a large spectrum of riders new to the sport or simply needed to take a break. Located between the Razorback Greenway and Mercy Hospital, the trail incorporates the City of Rogers Park features and trailhead. Interesting features include a green space in urban environment, champion trees, and park features. The Mercy trails have served as a training ground for local NICA race teams as well as a way for staff and patients of the hospital and local businesses to get outside and out of the hospital. Why is the project special? The topography allowed the first beginner-oriented loop trail that was in viewshed of a hammock station and shaded area so that parents could simply watch their children or new riders without fear of them going out of sight.
