It is our position that the Monon Trail is a great component of our community, and we should all get out this summer and use it. We need to be aware, though, that as the weather heats up, we will need to deal with an increase in Monon traffic.

The Monon is open to multiple forms of recreation, which can sometimes lead to everyone moving at a different pace in a limited amount of space. So whether you walk, jog, bike or rollerblade, watch out for others moving at different speeds.

We understand that everyone has their own workout routine and pace to keep. We just ask that you pay attention to where you are going and not mow anyone over. There are a lot of young kids on the trail who might not be paying attention to their surroundings or be as steady on their bikes.

As the summer heats up, be sure to schedule some time to get out to the Monon. Just be sure, whatever your means of transportation, that you have a good time and allow others to as well.
