    Gary's University Park area will soon see abandoned buildings demolished and cleared for future development. At the same time, Gary continues to make progress on a new bike trail that will improve residents' quality of life. When our region's leaders and residents work together, all of us benefit. Thanks, Post-Tribune for covering this positive development.
