I am an affected homeowner.
The city does NOT have valid recorded easements along the portion of the Monon in question. Prior court decisions are very clear, the easements that CSX sold after abandoning the line are invalid. While the city may be able to argue they have a prescriptive easement of what they paved and maintained for years, it’s a very thin corridor. In the 9+ years I’ve lived along the Monon, I’ve never seen the city do any work more than a few feet off the trail itself. They definitely haven’t come up my hill and inside my fence.
I love the Monon. I bought my house because of the Monon. I support the city’s desire to have clear ownership of the trail itself. The city can accomplish all it’s stated goals without taking fences, patios, swing sets, etc. They need ~10 feet from us, not 33.
Yeah that’s a big difference when it comes to smaller backyards and close proximity to the trail. I agree and I hope the city corrects the issue with affected homeowners.
