The Greenway Trail is a five mile long bicycle and pedestrian trail in Whittier that was built in place of an unused railroad right-of-way owned by Union Pacific. It runs between Norwalk Boulevard and Mills Avenue; quite a length of it is largely visible from Lambert Road between Painter and Mills Avenues.

Changes in Whittier are in the works, despite the nation's economic crunch.

It’s undoubtedly true that the changes or progress mentioned in this article were planned long before our current economic crunch. However, they are great examples of using economic “downtime” as an opportunity for change. When businesses make big changes, like remodels, they often experience temporary closures or slowing of business while resources are channeled into the changes. If it’s a new business, hopefully the completion is just in time for the reversal of an economic slump.
