The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (DPW) held a public hearing and open house on September 18, 2012, at the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ISBVI) at 77th and College Avenue. About 30 were in attendance. DPW presented the proposed construction project and time line to repair a section of the Monon Trail approximately half a mile long starting at 75th Street going north. This rehabilitation project will repair the drainage along the trail, add new guard rails, and resurface the trail.

The estimated cost of $350,000. The project is expected to close that section of the trail for two to three weeks. A detour will be in place during that time.

Public input is requested on the start date of the project and the detour route. The options for starting the project are fall or spring. Winter is not available because the paving work cannot be performed at that time.
