The new Recreation Center recognizes the epic of my hometown of Schererville and its emphasis on transportation because it is built on the ground that was once the home of the original Hartsdale train depot. The train is one of the reasons that Schererville became a crossroads, and now this site will be a crossroads of non-motorized transportation: a bicycle and pedestrian crossroads. On Rt. 30, the old Lincoln Highway, there are several plaques recognizing the history of the stretch of road and how this “Ideal Section” was the model for all the highways in America, but hardly anyone reads these plaques as they are flying past in their cars. The marker at the new crossroads in downtown Schererville will be more than just a plaque. I propose a new iconic recreation center and bike stop. In the next few years, this location will be very useful because there is currently a great greenway being built through Schererville, crossing downtown right before the site. Globally, this idea relates to places like the Netherlands, where tourists can rent bikes to ride around because so many people already bike in the crowded country. I imagine that someday soon, Schererville will also be so full of cars and traffic that biking will be a better option, and also a more affordable one.
