RETZ EXPLAINS BACK DRIVE CLOSURE AT GLEN MILLER PARK
(Richmond, IN)–Lots of people have questioned why the back drive at Glen Miller Park, which passes by springs and a historic rock, has been closed to vehicular traffic for an extended period of time.
Park Superintendent Denise Retz had that answer at Thursday’s Park Board meeting. “It’s because there is an exposed gas line and there is work that is needing to be done.
There is a bridge that is also needing to be worked on due to erosion and we cannot do that until this line is fixed,” Retz said. That work can start in two weeks, but it doesn’t mean the back drive will open anytime soon.
A survey will be taken to see how the public wants the back drive to be used or whether it should be reopened at all. That’s expected to take until fall to complete.
