🚫 Reminder About Motorized Vehicles on Trails 🚫

We would like to remind everyone that ALL motorized vehicles (including electric scooters, golf carts, mini bikes, motorized skateboards, and similar devices) are strictly prohibited on all local trails, including The Quarry Trails, Tripton Park Trails, and the Muscatatuck Trail system.

These trails are shared spaces that are heavily used every day by walkers, runners, bicyclists, families with strollers, children, and individuals enjoying the outdoors. The presence of motorized vehicles creates serious safety concerns due to increased speeds, limited visibility in certain areas, and the close proximity of pedestrians and cyclists.

Our goal is to keep these trails safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone in the community. We ask all residents and visitors to please respect the trail rules and help us maintain a safe environment by refraining from operating motorized vehicles on the trails.

(Please note the only exception applies to individuals who require motorized mobility devices due to physical limitations or disabilities.)

We appreciate our community’s cooperation and support in helping protect the safety and accessibility of our trail systems for all users. Thank you for doing your part to keep our parks and trails enjoyable for everyone!

Today, we honor the sacrifice of Patrolman Anthony B. “Bud” Burton and Reserve Officer Lonnie E. Howard, who gave their lives in the line of duty while serving the citizens of North Vernon.

Officer Burton and Reserve Officer Howard were killed when their patrol car was intentionally rammed by a suspect who was free on bond following an earlier standoff with police.

The suspect was later apprehended but committed su***de while awaiting trial.

Officer Burton had served with the North Vernon Police Department for three years. He was survived by his wife, mother, sister, and four brothers.

Reserve Officer Howard had served with the North Vernon Police Department for only four months. He was survived by his parents and brother.

During National Police Week, we remember Patrolman Burton, Reserve Officer Howard, and all officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.
