Re: Alternative Transportation Plan Amendment (Resolution No. CC-08-04-03-O1)
Dear Council Members:
The attached amendments to the Carmel/Clay 2020 Vision Plan; Chapter 6: Thoroughfare Plan;
Alternative Transportation Plan, are being forwarded to you at the request of the Carmel/Clay Alternative
Transportation Committee. The fourteen items outlined have been crafted to respond to amendments
previously adopted into the Twenty-year Thoroughfare Plan, and to represent more accurately the
community's objectives with respect to the US 31 Improvement Project.
The Amendment also includes Exhibit B: Bicycle Route Map, which is a new component of the
ATP that will be made available to users.
If you have questions regarding these comments please contact me at (317) 571-2417.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, - -
