Westfield City Councilors to host Golf Cart Listening Tours to discuss expanded use

Westfield, IN (January 7, 2025) — Westfield City Council members will be hosting several Golf Cart Listening Tours during January and February. The Council will explore the potential for expanding the use of golf carts throughout the city on additional multi-use trails and wider asphalt perimeter trails. 

The listening tours aim is to gather factual concerns and input from residents on the proposed expansion. Feedback from these meetings will determine whether the City Council pursues an expanded ordinance. 

Golf carts are permitted on several trails in Districts 1 and 3, near The Bridgewater Club and into downtown Westfield along the Midland Trace Trail. Nearly 1,000 golf carts are registered with the Westfield Police Department. 

"We have seen this done successfully in other communities, including Peach Tree City, Georgia, where myself, several city staff, and councilors went to meet with their Mayor, city staff, and councilors," stated Mayor Scott Willis. "This is something I would love to see in Westfield, but ultimately it is up to the City Council for approval."
