Major Taylor Trail

What's wrong with the Major Taylor Trail? What makes it so different from the Lakefront Trail when it comes to maintenance? I 've been trying to figure that out but can't really put my finger on it. All I know is that I would like to see the trail used more and cleaned.Why should you travel outside your community to ride the Lakefront when theirs a trail right here! There is a group called "Friends of the Major Taylor Trail" that has formed to address these issues. This year is a year for change. If you would like to see a change in the Major Taylor Trail join the group.
