161st St Trail from Oak Road to Carey Road, Westfield, IN
The City of Westfield’s 161st Street Trail project enhances pedestrian and bicycle connectivity while delivering important drainage improvements and preserving the natural character of the surrounding community.
The project includes approximately 1,900 linear feet of new, 8-foot-wide asphalt multi-use trail along the south side of 161st Street, between Oak Road and Carey Road.
Completed in coordination with the Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office, the trail improvements were integrated with a drainage infrastructure project that included rerouting a portion of the Oak Park Drain. This collaborative approach addressed critical infrastructure needs while creating a safer, more accessible route for pedestrians and cyclists.
