Sidewalks and Multi-Use Paths

Q.   Are there any plans to add sidewalks to the right of ways to allow easier access to the paths that I take to the Monon Trail or other destinations?

A.  This is a two-sided answer.

The right-of-way along Springmill Road belongs to the City of Westfield.  The city has had discussions, but currently there are NO plans to add sidewalks leading to 146th Street from either Richland Way or Merrimac Drive.

The right-of-way along 146th Street belongs to Hamiton County.  There are rumors that the county is considering adding sidewalks or a multi-use path from Warner Trail to Springmill Road when 146th Street is widened.

All Merrimac residents are urged to contact representatives of both the City of Westfield and Hamiton County to voice your support for sidewalks or multi-use paths and other issues that affect residents of Merrrimac, City of Westfield and Hamiton County.
