The Monon Trail requires bicyclists and pedestrians to cross several busy streets but sometimes drivers make their way onto the trial.
“We started yelling at the car to get off the Monon and other pedestrians and cyclists that were on the trail were also yelling at that vehicle,” Jaden Montgomery said.
“I think we have to hold these people accountable and make people aware that this is going on because that’s the only thing we can do to prevent these incidents and deaths,” Montgomery said. “IMPD only tracks when an actual police report is taken, which doesn’t happen in every case where there’s an incident,” Eric Holt, Creator of Indianapolis Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Crisis, said.
“I thought I knew how bad it was out there being a cyclist and someone who walks on the trails myself. I was seeing how bad things were and even I was shocked by the data,” Holt said. “I continue to be shocked by that data as it comes in month after month.”“I’ll often have to sit there and wait until there’s a considerate driver that realizes it’s the Monon and come to a complete stop,” Montgomery said.
