Monon Trail hours remain extended

The Monon Trail will continue to open earlier in the morning and close later at night, at least until June. Indy Parks decided to extend a trial period that began last fall allowing for activity from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. The popular trail is normally open from dawn to dusk, but IndyParks decided to extend the hours during winter months to accommodate commuters who faced fines for using the trail in the dark. February traffic during the new hours was double that of February 2011.
