Village Voice March President’s Message:
As we enter March, I think I can safely say most everyone is ready for spring! It has been one of
the more grinding winters in recent memory and I for one am looking forward to seeing buds
on the trees, and daffodils poking up from the ground!
As we learned at the February meeting there is a lot of activity going on in and around the
village. The mayor presented a new road layout concept that adds a roundabout between 1 st St.
and Main St. along Hawthorne. While still in the planning stages this layout appears to have
made changes from the prior concept. The mayor has agreed to let me know when the final
layout is available for public viewing, and we will send an email to members with that
information.
The Main Street Zionsville application has been submitted and we should hear the results
sometime in March. There will be a celebration of this achievement as the weather warms up
so stay tuned. The reworking of Lincoln Park is in the final design stages and bids are being
solicited for the work which is scheduled to begin once contracts are signed. Once the design is
finalized Jared Logsdon of the Parks Department has agreed to share it at a VRA meeting.
The March meeting (March 18 th ) will begin at a new time based on feedback at the last meeting.
We will gather at 7:00 PM at the SMCC versus 7:30. Hopefully this will still give members time
to settle in after work and still attend the meeting.
Mike Dale, the Director of Planning and Building for Zionsville has agreed to speak to us on the
role of town staff as it relates to the Board of Zoning Appeals. This is an opportunity for
residents to learn about the staff process when it comes to zoning petitions and perhaps better
understand why and how decisions are made. Please make sure you give Mike the respect and
courtesy he deserves as a member of the town’s leadership team.
I hope to see you at the March meeting and as always be sure and tell your neighbors about the
meeting and encourage them to join the VRA!!
Mark
