Please Common Council, don't stand in the way of progress for Richmond, Indiana: vote AGAINST the ordinance that stops the development of new walking and biking paths. Hundreds and hundreds of residents participated in the planning to get us this far, and we can't afford to say "no thanks" to the funding that will help us be a more appealing regional destination for young people, students and tourists.
Why is this important?
As a Richmond resident, volunteer, property owner and former small business owner, I want the city to thrive. Standing in the way of infrastructure improvements and ignoring years of planning is not the way to make progress. I stand with everyone who wants a more walkable, bikeable Richmond, Indiana.
