A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARMEL,
INDIANA, TO SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL OF UNITED STATES BICYCLE

Synopsis: Resolution to express approval and support for US Bicycle Route 37 route
through the City of Carmel, Indiana.
WHEREAS, the bicycle is a viable and environmentally sound form of transportation
and an excellent form of recreation; and
WHEREAS, the Monon Greenway attracts hundreds of thousands of bicyclists each
year, providing economic, health, and environmental benefits to its users; and
WHEREAS, bicycle tourism is a growing industry in North America, contributing over
$50 billion a year to the economies of communities that provide facilities for such
tourists; and
WHEREAS, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) has designated a corridor crossing Indiana to be developed as United States
Bicycle Route 37 (USBR 37), and
WHEREAS, the Adventure Cycling Association and Bike Indiana, with the cooperation
of INDOT, have proposed specific route to be designated as USBR 37, and
WHEREAS, the proposed route for USBR 37 travels through the City of Carmel,
Indiana, and can therefore provide a benefit to our residents and businesses, and
WHEREAS, we have investigated the proposed route and found it to be a suitable route,
and desire that the route be designated so that it can be mapped and signed, thereby
promoting bicycle tourism in our area,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
Carmel, Indiana, that the City of Carmel hereby expresses its approval and support for the
development of USBR 37, and requests that INDOT get the route officially designated by
AASHTO as soon as this can be achieved, and authorizes the posting of signs within
Carmel right-of-way identifying the route through the city once the official designation
has been made.
